Clownfish - Ocellaris Black Full Band (Amphiprion ocellaris) *Captive Bred*

aThe Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish, also known as the Black Anemonefish, is normally found in association with anemones on the reefs of the Coral Sea. It can be found individually, or more commonly, in pairs or small groups within the same anemone. These  clownfish grow to a maximum size of 3 inches in the aquarium, and may be kept singly or in groups.

The Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish is very distinctive with its jet-black body and three white stripes on each side. They are very hardy and are perfect for the novice or seasoned aquarist. Interestingly, the Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish begins life donning an orange colouation that slowly transitions to a beautiful caramel or umber colouration as juveniles. It takes the Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish roughly a year to gradually darken to their final jet-black coloration. It is not uncommon for some adult individuals to retain traces of the orange/umber colouration, especially around their mouth and face.

The Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish is a good candidate for a reef aquarium. If introduced to the aquarium at the same time.

Clownfish are omnivores, requiring both meaty foods as well as some greens in their diet. A high quality marine flake food, rich in spirulina algae, as well as freeze dried and frozen foods are readily accepted.
