| Scientific Name(s) | Amphiprion ocellaris |
| | Family Name | | | Water Type | Saltwater | | Description | The Black and White Percula Clownfish may be kept singly, in pairs, or in small groups. Generally, it is a great fish for the reef aquarium and spends much of its time nestled peacefully in its anemone. If you plan to keep other clownfish, it is best to do it in a larger aquarium of 100 gallons or more and provide each clownfish, or pair of clownfish, with their own anemone. That way each fish has a comfortable home and quarrels will be reduced. Adding all of the clownfish at the same time will also help to reduce territorial disputes. The Black Percula Clownfish does not require a host anemone for survival.
