cocoa clowns

[littlefish72]

is a cocoa clown the cross between a regular ocellaris or a black ocellaris with a maroon clown? i can't seem to find the answer although i'm sure it's been answered. also if anyone has pics of either cross please post them. i'd like to see the difference

Stores and people can slap any name they want onto things, but the first cocoa clowns I ever heard of were maroon X ocellaris from Proaquatix.

I don't know if I have ever seen a orange x black ocellaris baby.

cocoa's are ugly, look like occ's but with the maroons red eye and the yhave this f'ugly brown color on them. take the blandest features from both fish and mix them together, that is a cocoa.

Wow. I didnt know these fish crossbreed...or do they? I have both in my tank, one Maroon and one Occe. Hmmm...wonder what will happen in the years to come...The Cocoa's are kinda pretty though....

Besides the Proaquatix fish, there is a least one person, and I think 2 people, in this forum who have had maroon and occelaris clowns lay eggs and have raised the babies.
