Picasso Clown

Picassos are a highly sought after variant of the Percula Clownfish. The Picasso variant occurs naturally in the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea however it is exceptionally hard to find. The Picasso's are beautiful fish which exhibit extra white mainly on their center stripe.

Clownfish make a great choice for novices and seasoned aquarists alike. The Picasso 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.

The Picasso Clownfish diet consists of almost any meaty food items and herbivore preparations.
