VPI 2.2 Clowns from Africa

1.0 original line clown

1.2 clowns original line (littermates) several years later



Brian Barczyk 0.1 original clown



All clowns descended from:

1) the VPI group bred to each other or outbred to normal females

2) VPI 100% het male line x Barczyk female and outbred to normals



"wicked" I believe is 100% VPI line clown-Ralph bought his hets from VPI, but we can hear from him-

Snake Keeper bought hets from VPI

Morph King bought hets from VPI

Gail bought hets from VPI

NERD got animals from VPI and bred with Gail VPI animals



As far as I know, 100% of the clowns originated from VPI original animals or 1/2 VPI x Barczyk female. All of the above breeders may have also incorporated Barczyk x VPI animal line into their groups you would have to ask them.



I have never seen a photo of another import clown--though I wouldn't be surprised if someone somewhere had some info to add-



Therefore, I would say that individual differences are within the scope of the mutation itself and interaction with normal lines. I love variation and seeing how individuals like different things, this mutation with its variety of looks is great for covering a lot of different tastes. But in terms of what they are--pretty much they ALL descend at the minium 1/2 from the same lines.
