I wanted to write and let you know that there are two types of black percs that commonly get confused.
The are the Black percs, which are actually ocelaris species. Those are also called Darwin percs. We have several, singles and pairs. They are all tank raised and very hardy with slightly more aggressive tendencies than the regular ocellaris. They do not go into anemones right away, it takes a while...About 5 months for mine to host in my RBT
I also have a breeding pair of Black Onyx True Percs and I have juveniles that are just starting to blacken. The are a true percula species from the papau new guinea region. They are very peaceful and will readily host in an anemone.
It is quit common to see people get these two mixed up. I have both, so please feel free to contact me...
We can also get the ocellaris species that have the unique patterns which have been labeled as Picasso, or snowflake. This is a recessive genetic variation.
