Nice, love em . Just had my snowflake and false lay eggs for the first, amazing fish
 
I was told they were black ice clowns. What is the difference between snowflakes and black ice clowns?

That's awesome. Hope mine will do that later on.

Black ice clownfish is a crossbreed of a snowflake with a black ocellaris in an attempt to get a black snowflake.... they just haven't gotten there yet.

Here's a pic of my sustained aquatics snowflake for comparison. I'd say yours has more black so probably is a black ice, Ive heard that in snowflakes that only a few of the spawn are snowflakes and most turn out to be regular clowns, I think its true perc, or it may be occelaris. Can't remember. But basically Is going to be a variation in the coloring of the individual fry.

I paid $150 for my pair. I know an insane amount for a clown. I could have bought a very similar clown right next to the ones I bought for $20 ea. but I love the snowflakes vibrant color, mine had some blue around the edges of the white, but it has faded some as they have matured, so somewhere down the line I bet there will be blue clowns.
Also I live near Nashville and sustained aquatics is very close to me and I like to support what they are doing. They are kinda like ORA
