oceallaris vs percula and why

[JCnflies]

I was just wondering what you thought about the two types of clowns? Also, I heard that ocellaris' color can be improved by feeding particular foods. Anyone know which of these foods? Thx.

Good question- both are wonderful species of Clownfish.

Colors of almost any fish can be improved with a rotation of good foods.
I find that VibraGro (Saltwater Staple), Cyclopeeze and other foods containing carotenoid pigments (such as astaxanthin) fed in conjunction with a rotation of other quality foods will really bring out the colors in many fishes.

foods rich in iodine really make the reds and oranges pop.

First each fish and each pair are unqiue, but it has been my experience that A. percula tend to be more out going and friendly than A. ocellairs. They have a more personality IMO.
