Coral Reef Spain, a wholesaler and retailer business in Spain is the first retailer to receive ORA clownfish shipped from the United States. This is the first time ever that a Spanish hobbyist can buy a farmed ORA fish. Most clownfish are wild caught but this allows Spanish hobbyists to purchase tank raised clownfish which helps to keep our stock levels in the ocean secure. Kudos to ORA and Coral Reef Spain. Hopefully soon ORA will begin to export other types of fish across the Atlantic if they don’t already.

Thanks Javier!

Coral Reef Spain, a wholesaler and retailer business in Spain, is proud to announce that the first ORA (www.orafarm) fishes landen in Picasso’s country. This is the first time ever that a Spanish hobbyist can buy a farmed ORA fish. Picassos, Perculas, Platinium, etc are now available thanks to Coral Reef Spain that get a special agreement with ORA. As wholesalers, we have been distributing farmed fishes from ORA during the last week and, from now on, they will be available on regular basis. The idea is NOT import wild fishes meanwhile ORA is producing and exporting them outside the US.

The Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish, also known as the Black Perc, Black Percula Clown Anemonefish, or Black and White False Percula Clown and is normally found in association with anemones on the reefs of the Coral Sea. It can be found individually, or more commonly, in pairs or small groups within the same anemone such as Heteractis magnifica or Stichodactyla mertensii. These tank bred clownfish grow to a maximum size of 3 inches in the aquarium, and may be kept singly or in groups.

The Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish is very distinctive with its jet-black body and three white stripes on each side. They are very hardy and are perfect for the novice or seasoned aquarist.

The Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish is a good candidate for a reef aquarium. If introduced to the aquarium at the same time, many varieties of tank raised clowns can be maintained together in the aquarium.

Tank bred clownfish are easy to breed in the home aquarium. The females will be the largest of the pair, and two fish will usually stay close to each other in the aquarium. These fish 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 6-11 days depending on the temperature. The fry must be reared in a separate aquarium on a diet of rotifers then baby brine shrimp.

Tank bred clownfish are omnivores, requiring both meaty foods as well as some greens in their diet. A high quality marine flake food, rich in spirulina algae, as well as freeze dried and frozen foods are readily accepted.

Please note: The tank bred clowns from England are younger in age, and will be a deep orange/brown in appearance. After a short period of time as the fish matures, they will darken with age to jet black coloration with an orange mouth. The tank bred clowns from Australia are more mature, and will ship in their jet black adult coloration. The misbarred clowns from England have incomplete white stripes.
