black/orange mix

"Love my black photons, and I would not call them brown at all. Clearly black and yellow markings, similar to onyx. They have been great fish. Still a little young but I hope they start a spawn soon. "

No one said Sanjays are brown... They aren't even related to what the OP asked. They are O's and Percs...

"ok maybe you are not getting me or im not getting you.. ok if you have a say black female and a orange male and they spawn. what would the offspring look like. i dont see why they would turn brown they colors are not going to mix like water colors are they? the blacks as juvs. have reg orange spots till they get older. my fem black had a orange face and then turned all balck. now adding more of a orange blood line wont that make more orange stand out or last and not fade or add more black areas on a orange one. or maybe i have no idea what im talkng about? "

They are fugly brown. This is not uncommon in animals to take some of the traits of each parent making a mix in colour or shape / traits.

"they are not crayons. breeding isnt like mixing crayons look a red fish mated with a blue fish doesnt make a purple fish."

They may not be crayons but if you breed a black ocellaris and an orange one you get BROWN. At the risk of sidetracking this post even farther. Doesn't red and blue make green not purple?

Man this turned out to be a lot of posts for the OP's simple question. I don't know how or why but they make brown. Its been done many times by many people. Arguing makes no difference whatsoever. The dang fish will still be brown at the end of the day. If you don't believe me pickup a pair and try for yourself. Shesh.
 
Well with all of that said, lets see some of these fish grown out. I'd like to see some pictures.

side note to help with colors: green is a primary color not made up of any other colors however, when you comibne the blue and yellow wavelenghts they do make a green wave. Red (primary) + blue (primary) = purlple (secondary)

the only thing is that is a Onyx Percula and a black oce. so there is a lot of black between the two. im talking a reg orange oce and black oce.. but if thats how they come out that would be cool
 
My Mistake

An orange occelaris x black occelaris cross is Dark Brown...
The cross was sold as "Fancy" Clownfish or Mocha through sustainable aquatics a while back
