Gladiator/DaVinci Clown Fish (Captive bred ProAquatix)

Description:
Gladiators/DaVinci are an Ocellaris Clownfish with smooth exaggerated barring, that some say look like as if someone painted them on, which is where the name DaVinci comes from. Gladiator/DaVinci has no bar connecting but could exhibit some exaggerated barring and could have a little exaggerated head barring making it look like a gladiator’s helmet.

Behavior:
Like all clownfish, Amphiprion ocellaris is a sequential hermaphrodite. The largest individual present will exert dominance and become reproductively female. The next largest fish will become reproductively male. Remaining smaller individuals are usually tolerated but will not be reproductively active.

Compatibility:
Usually ignores reef invertebrates and corals. Clownfish sometimes adopt various corals and algae as substitutes for host anemones.

Food:
Proaquatix specimens have been weaned to take aquarium pellets and flakes. Freshly frozen invertebrates such as ocean plankton, Mysis shrimp, and brine shrimp will be readily accepted.
