Amphiprion occelaris Black Da Vinci

Description

  • The Black Da Vinci Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) is a captive-bred, designer variant of the popular False Percula clownfish. Renowned for its artistic, paint-stroke-like white patterns set against a jet-black body, this hardy marine fish combines unique aesthetics with the peaceful temperament and easy care of the standard ocellaris. 

  • Appearance: Features a stark black body (stemming from Darwin and black ocellaris lines) adorned with soft, wavy, and often swirling merged white bands. The tail usually ends in a bold black dot surrounded by white, and the white patterns can spill over onto the dorsal and pectoral fins. 

  • Grading: These fish are selectively bred and graded based on white pattern coverage. Grade A typically has fused white stripes on both sides of the body, while Extreme grades show highly erratic, connected trailing stripes with maximum white coloration. 

  • Size & Growth: Reaches a maximum adult length of about 3 inches (7.5 cm), with females typically growing larger than males.

  • Lifespan: Can live between 10 and 15 years in a well-maintained home aquarium. 

  • Minimum Tank Size: 20 gallons for a single specimen or a juvenile pair; 30 gallons or more is ideal to allow for natural territorial movement.

  • Temperament: Peaceful and relatively docile, though they can display mild aggression when establishing territory or pairing up. They are 100% reef safe and will not nip at corals or invertebrates. 

  • Diet: Omnivorous; they readily accept high-quality marine flakes, pellets, and various frozen foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and ocean plankton.

  • Host Anemones: While they do not strictly require an anemone to thrive in captivity, they can easily form symbiotic relationships with popular host anemones like the Bubble-Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor).
