Wide Bar Mocha Gladiator Ocellaris Clownfish

(Amphiprion ocellaris var.)

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 Wide Bar Mocha Gladiator Ocellaris Clownfish were created by crossing the Wide Bar Gladiator Ocellaris Clownfish and the Super Black Darwin Ocellaris Clownfish. This unique beauty has three white stripes with the body stripe covering the majority of its body. As juveniles they will have a orange to brown color but as they mature this color will darken to become a mocha color. Each fish will have its own unique pattern. Wide Bar Mocha Gladiator Ocellaris Clownfish can grow to almost 4".

We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 20 gallons or larger for this species.
