Sold as clown knife but not sure

[Hendre]

As far as I know, there was a time when C. Ornata were being bred to produce unique flower patterns, but for some odd reason, that trend seems to have come and gone. Maybe there was a genetic defect associated during the line breeding. I've only been seeing normal spotted CKs for the past few years now and even the spottless and golden CKs seems to have vanished.

I see! Thanks for the info.
Do the "royal" clown knives fit here too?

Royal Clown Knives are another species of the genus. Clown Knives sold at the LFS are Chitala Ornata (regardless of pattern) while Royals are Chitala Blanci.

Most Chitala Ornata develop markings or spots over time as they mature that are as unique as finger prints. Neither side exactly matches. "T"

That's some unique spoting in the clownknife!
