What kind of clownfish is this?

[yeon.joon.hong]

In the video (linked below) and BRS fb page they refer to them as Fang & Sir Chomps a Lot clownfish and also as a BRS160 clownfish. They're an ocellaris clownfish but red. Anyone know where I can get them?

I’m pretty sure those are either black snowflake or just regular black ocellaris clowns (Darwin). As juveniles, they start off reddish-brown but then darken as they mature. If you want one that will stay that reddish brown color, those are mocha clownfish and you can get those easily from liveaquaria or probably your lfs. Hope this helps

yea but if you look at the baby clownfish for these kinds they're orange and not really red... I think you didn't see the last picture in my original thing and just watched the video because the black snowflakes and darwin clowns are in the video... I'll attach the picture to this reply. Thank you for taking the time and going through the video tho

Did you try contacting BRS directly?

Maroon clownfish can be that color. They're much bigger and super aggressive, though.

There are no red color morphs of either percula or ocellaris. A few years ago there was a fish called "A Rod's Infrared Picasso" that was supposedly reddish orange (it looked bright orange to me) and that's the closest fish that I can think of that was "red":



Any clownfish that's pumped up with astaxanthin will be a bright orange, and some may consider them red. Nowadays you can buy food with astaxanthin in it. My favorite is TDO Chroma Boost by Reef Nutrition.

Those clowns are from Vosson Aquatics. My guess is they do not stay that color as most juvies change. Might be black ones.

They are more reddish than clownfish usually are, but it's entirely likely they looked different as adults, and lighting differences may be a factor here.

That’s correct. Since Vossen Aquatics bred them, it’s safe to assume that they were fed TDO, which can make the babies a brighter orange, even appearing reddish in some photos.

However, since they are black snowflakes, it doesn’t really matter what color they are as babies, since genetics determine their final color.

nono they're not black snowflakes I mean these fish

The thing is, black ocellaris don't start out black. They start out other colors, which can be influenced by their diet.

I looked up "BRS160 clownfish", and I found this Instagram post by BRS. It shows BRS160 eggs being tended by the parents, which are black.


Sadly, it doesn't appear that red adult clownfish are a thing. Blood orange clowns are pretty close, though, and you could feed them a food that might bring out the red a bit more.

black snowflakes are not born black. They change colors as adults. So they won’t stay this color.

They will turn black.
