True Percula ClownfishFamily: Pomacentridae
Latest Reader Comment - See More Clownfish are my favorite Animal i love them so much and like to hear new things about them i really like sites about clownfish that i have never seen before! Jackie The True Percula Clownfish is very beautiful and a favorite of many marine enthusiats! Can you tell a True Percula Clownfish from a "False" Percula Clownfish?This True Percula Clownfish is very similar to the Ocellaris Clownfish or False Percula Clownfish, A. ocellaris. The difference is in the number of dorsal spines (11 for A. ocellaris, and 10 or 9 for A. percula), the anterior part of the dorsal fins is taller in A. ocellaris, and A. ocellaris never have a thick black margin around the three white bars. The two fish do not occur together in nature. The black bar is sometimes expanded more than the fish in the above picture. For more Information on keeping this fish see:

There is a lot of people that encourage others to buy clown fish because of a movie that they saw and are really clueless about how much knowledge goes into owning one of these fish. I suggest researching EVERYTHING that goes into owning a clown fish BEFORE buying one so that the same thing that happened with the dalmation dogs after the movie "101 Dalmations" came out doesnt happen with clown fish and "Finding Nemo". If you are thinking about a clown fish, do yourself and the fish a favor and research them at http://www.reefcentral.com Go to the forum "New to the Hobby" and ask questions! Also, get a book and read it!

Ive been an aquarium hobbiest for fifteen years and have been keeping salt water for six years. I do believe that any animal should not be kept unless you know how, and are willing to properly take care of them. However when my two year old baby girls face lights up and shines when she sees a clownfish. You know shes going to have one. And if she calls her Nemo, thats ok.

I have had my clown fish for about a week and he just started laying behind the anemone, but now he is laying on the ground of the tank like the tester damsel fish that died, idk whats wrong, but all of our other fish are perfectly fine, and we feed them several times a day. But when we tried to put him in the anemone he went crazy swimming backwards and upside down....HELP!

These fish are really wonderful to watch. They are very hardy, take any food very easily, and don't harm any corals or inverts. It's a very good fish for beginners. And btw, this site ROCKS....!!!
