thank you all for your inputs and suggestions :) ...

after much thought and reading all of the post here, i decided to go with the royal.. eventhough the poll shows clowns to be more popular, the changing of their spots as they grow is what put me off on them.. as with my late one, i really didn't like the result of the deformed spots that turned out.. anyway, i got a 8.5" royal with really nice spots, i'll post some pics as soon as i can ;) ..

again, thanks for all who took time in voting :thumbsup:

Ya did a good thing! Notice that the poll shows clowns & royals neck & neck in the race for popularity after clowns were way ahead in the beginning. I voted Royal cuz they are more oddball. I'm guessing that most of the older & more jaded fish keepers went with royals for that reason.

Please show us some pics!

That's cool that you went with the Royal. I personally love their pattern of small lined spots. Let's see some pics.

about spots changing, it'll depend on where it's located, if it's on the bottom, then the pattern doesnt' really change. but if it's in the mid body, then it does stretch.
i do like the clowns solid look. and look at the 2nd picture and count the spots on that baby! :D
