Black Ice Ocellaris Clownfish
(Amphiprion ocellaris)
Amphiprion Clownfish should be added to a well established aquarium with plenty of rock work and swimming area. Also known as anemonefish they are hardy, reef safe and easy to care for. They are also one of the most popular marine aquarium inhabitants. Anemonefish create a symbiotic relationship with anemones. Anemonefish are dependent on anemone's for shelter and protection and provide food and cleaning services to the anemone. They can be a bit territorial over their host anemone. Females are larger than the males and are protandrous hermaphrodites, meaning the juveniles mature into males but may reproduce as females later in life. Anemonefish should be fed a diet of meaty and herbivore based foods.
The Black Ice Ocellaris Clownfish variant was created by crossing the Premium Snowflake Ocellaris and the Ultra Black Darwin Ocellaris. This unique variant will have a beautiful orange to brown body color that will darken as the fish matures. Accenting their body color are white irregular white stripes with unique shapes and patterns. Each fish will have its own unique pattern. Black Ice Ocellaris Clownfish can grow to 3".
We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 20 gallons or larger for this species.
