Whoa...I've been on this thread at LEAST 3-4 times and I never noticed the gray bar...Wow, good eye.
What about a misbar like that...with the rare gray bar? Is that also a fish that would be euthanized? Just wondering...

They usually also have some other defect as well. Misbar is an indication of some problem. If you look closely at most misbars you'll see short gills, misaligned jaws, crooked spines, short tails, etc. If the misbar has no obvious defects I usually keep them for myself. I have quite a few and I do enjoy them. I do not breed them.
For the ones that have defects, well, they get to hang out with the Banggai. The reason is that I do not want defective Clownfish out in the population breeding and propogating the defect. In the wild these fish would have perished naturally and would not be in the breeding community.
It's not the misbar that's the defect - this is important to understand. The Misbar is not genetic from what I have seen. What usually happens is that there's some other defect that impedes proper feeding or swimming. As a result the fish doesn't get the proper nutrition and proper development is hindered. Like I said, a fish in the wild that doesn't swim properly or eat well isn't going to live long. In a breeding setup where there are no predators these fish survive.
