True perculas and onix clown fish difference

[tony02133]

Ok so I was wondering what's the difference between true percula and onix I know they are both perculas but how can you tell which one is which ??

True percula is the common name for your standard amphiprion percula clownfish as opposed to amphiprion Ocellaris. Those are two common clowns that have been selectively bred to create certain "designer" strains. Many of the names can be specific to the breeder. Check out some of the big breeders' websites to see some of the varieties available. Some of the big ones are:
Oceans, reefs, & aquariums
Sustainable aquatics
Sea & reef

No prob. I got an awesome pair of snowflake clowns from Nick Ambrosio. I think he is about to do another order of clowns. Check with him if you are looking to buy some. Good prices too.
