What kind of clownfish is this?

[Dcal]

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

They will turn black.

^ @Tamberav is right as usual

nono they're not black snowflakes I mean these fish

Juvenile clownfish will not stay the same color. And there’s no such thing as red clownfish. Those babies are black snowflakes

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.

I was starting to think that you were a troll.

As previously stated, and I'll say it again since it seems like it needs to set in, percula and ocellaris all start out as orange (not red!) fish that gradually change into their adult coloration.

Other species of clownfish go through interesting changes as well: tomato clowns have two stripes, then lose one as they get older, and lighning maroon clowns start out as red with a lot of white, then the white slowly starts to dissipate revealing the webbed look of an adult lightning clown.

Did you wonder why you couldn't find any red percula or ocellaris? I assumed you know that they changed colors as they matured!

You're right, the babies in the picture don't have a wiggly pattern like a black snowflake. They appear to be something similar to a black snowflake, but not quite the same.

Maybe somebody will breed some properly red adult ones in the future. It is a nice color.

The closest to redish I know of is a hybrid. The Mai Tai clown. They do darken a bit across the back. It is best to pick them out in person as They seem to vary in color a bit.
