Percula clownfish

The True Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion percula) are one of the hardiest and easiest marine fish to raise. They are often mistaken with the Ocellaris Clownfish. True Percula Clownfish have darker black shading around their white barring. The vivid orange coloration and personality makes this fish a favorite for many home aquariums. Relatively hardy, the Percula Clownfish can be kept in groups. However, one individual will eventually deminate the group and pick on the subordinates. Clownfish are often admired when seen hosting in an anemone. Clownfish and Anemones do not need each other in order to survive or live happily. Because Anemones require intense lighting and a very stable environment in a well established reef aquarium, it is often better to choose host that requires lesser maintenance for the clownfish.
