Extreme Gladiator (Amphiprion ocellaris)
Description:
Extreme Gladiators are a variant of the Gladiator Ocellaris that have all three bars connected barring on at least one side. Unlike snowflake barring, the stripes of a Gladiators have smooth edges.
Also Known As: DaVinci, Gladiator, Fancy White
Behavior:
Like all clownfishes, Amphiprion ocellaris is a sequential hermaphrodite. The largest individual present will exert dominance and become reproductively female. The next largest fish will become reproductively male. Remaining smaller individuals are usually tolerated but will not be reproductively active.
Compatibility:
Usually ignores reef invertebrates and corals. Clownfishes sometimes adopt various corals and algae as substitutes for host anemones.
Food:
Proaquatix specimens have been weaned to take aquarium pellets and flakes. Freshly frozen invertebrates such as ocean plankton, Mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and chopped squid will be readily accepted.
Always nervous to pick out clowns online in fear I will get a sub par pattern or weakling. Wow this gladiator is a neat pattern and a hardy fish. Going on one month now and it's paired up with a larger solo ocellaris. First attempt from my LFS did not make it. This time success! Fantastic fish in top health.
