Overview

The Captive-Bred Snow Onyx and Extreme Snow Onyx are a hybrid cross between the Onyx (Percula clownfish (Amphriprion percula) and the Snowflake Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphriprion ocellaris). These fish are orange with irregularly shaped white patches that are outlined in black. You will also notice some slight blue highlights in these beautifully hybrid fish. This member of the Pomacentridae family is an excellent addition to almost any saltwater aquarium system.

Captive-bred fish have a unique advantage over wild-harvested species, as they are generally very hardy and more accustomed to conditions found in the home aquarium. Therefore, captive-bred fishes make a great choice for novices and seasoned aquarists alike.

The Captive-Bred Snow Onyx and Extreme Snow Onyx Clownfish is easy to breed in the home aquarium. The females will be the largest of the pair and the two fish will usually stay close to each other in the aquarium. Clownfish are egg layers and will deposit the eggs on a flat surface and defend the eggs from other tank mates. The eggs will normally hatch in 8-11 days depending on the water temperature. The fry must be reared in a separate aquarium on a diet of rotifers followed by baby brine shrimp.

This Clownfish is an aggressive eater. It will accept most meaty foods and frozen herbivore preparations.
