So then what are the different morphs of clown knives???

Clown Knives are Clown Knives. There are no different morph other than what was already named:

Golden CK

Albino CK (I tend to think that these might be an Albino form of C. Lopis, becuase of the missing spots)

And if the pictures that I've seen are correct :confused: ...C. Chitala will have more of a circular ocelleris and C. Ornata will be more irratic.
 
Just wanted to add:

C. Chitala is a slightly different shade of gray than C. Ornata, as mentioned earlier "C. Chitala will have more of a circular ocelleris". But the easiest way to tell the two apart is C. Chitala has hair-thin lines (white or golden) running over it's back.

I have never seen C. Ornata in Norway, only C. Chitala imported from India. From what i've seen in pictures, C. Ornata is more common in the US. Probably imported from Thailand, Singapor or others.

Thanks for the info :thumbsup:
Anyone else have any other way of telling these two species apart?
