Black Photon Clownfish
Amphiprion ocellaris X Amphiprion percula
Identification:The Black Photon Clownfish is a cross between the black and white Darwin Ocellaris and Onyx Percula Clownfish. It is a relatively peaceful and hardy clownfish. They thrive in saltwater aquariums with or without an anemone present. Early juvenile Black Photon Clownfish have a brown and orange coloration. As the fish grow larger the brown color changes to solid black, while the orange coloration on the face, belly and anal fin is retained. It is a gorgeous designer clownfish with a distinct and aesthetically pleasing look. The Black Photon Clownfish was first bred and named by Dr. Sanjay Joshi who is known for his extensive expertise with LED lighting theory and technology. Dr. Sanjay named this hybrid Black Photon because both parents are black and because he has been nicknamed “the Photon Man” by aquarium hobbyists.
Tank Requirements:Minimum of a 30 Gallon
Feeding and diet:
Most clownfish are omnivorous feeders, meaning that they will consume a variety of different food types. In nature the diet of clownfish consists of crustaceans (such as copepods and amphipods), algae, polychaete worms, and leftovers from the anemone’s meal. Our captive bred fish are conditioned to eat a variety of aquarium diets including pellets, flake food, frozen Mysis shrimp, and frozen brine shrimp.

ORA®Certified Captive Bred
Hybrid Blood Orange Clownfish
P. biaculeatus x Amphiprion ocellaris
Identification:
The ORA Blood Orange Clownfish looks at once very familiar but also inherently different. If you can’t put your finger on it that’s because the Blood Orange Clownfish is a hybrid between a maroon clownfish and an ocellaris clownfish! This intergeneric hybrid is the result of crossing a female Maroon Clown (Premnas biaculeatus) with a male Ocellaris Clown (Amphiprion ocellaris). The Blood Orange Clownfish inherits desirable qualities from
both parent species: large finnage of the Maroon and thick barring outlined with black from the Ocellaris. The offspring exhibit hybrid vigor as well as a unique red color. Their temperament seems to be somewhere between the Ocellaris and the Goldstripe
Maroon, so care should be taken when choosing tank mates. Based on our experience with unintentionally produced hybrids (read more), these fish will grow to be beautiful show specimens with large flowing fins and crisp, bright color.
Minimum tank size:
20 Gallon
Feeding and diet:
All clownfish are omnivores, meaning they need to eat both meaty foods along with some greens in their diet.
A high quality marine flake food, rich in spirulina and algae, as well as freeze dried and frozen foods are readily accepted and will provide the nutrition they need.

Benefits of purchasing captive bred:
The most important benefit is that by purchasing tank bred fish you are protecting
the oceans of the world from destruction. Further benefits are just as important. Tank bred fish are hardier than their wild caught counterpart and additionally
very accustomed to aquarium life and very accustomed to aquarium food.
