Reproduction of Plat Percula Clownfish

[dalilgriffith]

Has anyone heard if these things can even re-produce?

I was thinking about buying 2-3 of them to cross-breed with other fish.

they can

They should be able to. Usually only hybrids are sterile (i.e. a Percularis would not be fertile)

Not true. Percularis are fertlile. And so are leucokranos.

@OP - platinums should breed, what color fish you get as a result of this breeding is another question.

Wow! Didn't know that. Thanks for the correction


edit: I see where I was wrong. Hybrids between species are inviable, however hybrids within genera are fertile.

that is not true with clownfish hybrids, the only thing that is "not-so-fertile" are the naked.
