General Description: The Extreme Davinci Clownfish is a designer clownfish variant selectively-bred from crossing another designer clownfish, the Wyoming White Clownfish, with the standard Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris). This clownfish variant does not exist naturally in the wild. Extreme davinci clownfish have an orange body with a unique swirly white pattern that connects at least two stripes. Clownfish are well known for their interesting symbiotic relationships with anemones. An ocellaris clown’s anemone of choice is a Bubble Tip (Entacmaea sp.) anemone. Host anemones provide clownfish with protection and a site for nest building, while the anemone also benefits from its clownfish host in many ways. Interestingly, all clownfish are born male and the most dominant individual in the group will change to female, a process known as hermaphroditism. Females grow larger than males, obtaining a size of approximately 3″ to 3-1/2″ typically in captivity. Clownfish come from the Pomacentridae family, which they share with Chromis and Damsels.
Diet Requirements: Clownfish are omnivorous. A varied diet of high quality algae, proteins, pellets, flakes, and enriched frozen foods are important for best coloration, immune function and optimal health. Clownfish are some of the unfussiest of saltwater livestock when it comes to feeding.
Care Requirements: A minimum 15 to 20 gallon aquarium is ideal for a single, or pair of, Extreme davinci clownfish. A set-up with live rock is best for the health of the aquarium, and this clownfish will appreciate crevices to swim through and take refuge. Clownfish are one of the few groups of fish that can endure the break-in cycle of a new saltwater aquarium. An anemone host should only be added after the aquarium is biologically established. Their peaceful nature makes them an excellent choice to keep with almost all other community reef fish, invertebrates, and corals. We do not recommend keeping more than one pair of clownfish per aquarium, even in larger systems. We do not recommend mixing different genera of clownfish together. Recommended water conditions, 72-78° F, KH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, salinity 1.020-1.025.
