Can Clowns Interbreed?

[The Saltwater Kid]

Can for example an orange and white ocellaris clown mate and breed with a black and white ocellaris?

Yes, my LFS does it and sells the mix matched ones for $55-$75.
They kind of look cool. Say there head is black but the rest is orange just stuff like that.

Hybrids, gotta luv them.

Do you have any pics of the ones your talking about?

Yes. they are the same species. This would not produce a hybrid. They would simply produce an Ocellaris.

Right, same species, just the possibility for varying physical characteristics (color wise).

these are not different species, they are just different color morphs. that said, it is also possible for clowns to inbreed; I have seen several marron/ ocellaris hybrids, and I belive I saw a maroon/ tomato as well. I have also seen many ocellaris/ percula hyrbrids (I mysef belive I have one, it was sold as a ocellaris, but it had both ocellaris and percula characteristics).

yes they can inter breed. one of my buddies had a mated pair of clowns. the female was a tomato clown and the male a perc. cool looking babies.
