tomato or cinnamon

[socalracer]

i just got a tomato clown but is has some black coloration on the side, its blended in.....this just made me wonder what the differences are between the tomato and the cinnamon clown? also anyone else have a tomato or a cinammon i reaaly l;ike their coloration but it seems like they aren't a favorite, is this b/c they are to common or cheap?

you really wont be able to tell until it matures. cinnamon clowns lose their stripes w/ maturity

I've had my tomato clown for 5+ years now. When I first got him, he was very bright orange. It seems that when I added BTA (about 1 year ago) he got darker (it's like all of a sudden I noticed!) and he is now mostly black but sort of "outlined" bright orange. I wonder if it is chemical change due to the BTA?
I see a lot of tomatos in the LFS, but I do have a feeling that the others are more popular, if for no other reason than the number of white stripes making a flashier appearance? Not sure on that one, either.
Of course, I wouldn't trade mine for a little flash! Great personality! :happyfish

I purchased my clown as a cinnamon, but it has lost all its dark coloration. It now looks like a tomato clown only more orange, less red. I think almost all other clowns are more popular than a clown or a tomato. I couldn't ask for a better clown to put with a bta...my clown takes very good care of its bta.
