The clown is a recessive color and pattern mutation. This unique mutation results in a distinctive appearance, marked by a significantly reduced body pattern. One of its most striking features is a broad, dark dorsal stripe that runs along the length of its back. Additionally, the head pattern is notably busy and irregular, often described as having a whimsical or comical appearance. This combination of traits makes the Clown mutation particularly intriguing to enthusiasts and breeders alike.
