The Black & White Ocellaris Clownfish is a classic and highly popular captive-bred clownfish variety, featuring a deep black body contrasted by crisp white bars. Known for its hardy nature and peaceful temperament, this clownfish is an excellent choice for both new and experienced aquarists.
Captive-bred specimens adapt exceptionally well to aquarium life, readily accept prepared foods, and display strong disease resistance. Like other Ocellaris clownfish, this variety exhibits familiar clownfish behaviors, including hosting anemones or coral substitutes, though an anemone is not required for long-term success.
This fish is well suited for reef and fish-only systems and can be kept singly or as a bonded pair.
