Fancy Percula True Percula Clownfish
Amphiprion percula
About this strain
A collective grade name applied to A. percula showing multiple simultaneous pattern aberrations — partial Picasso-style bar distortion combined with some Onyx-like black expansion, producing fish with both broken white markings and heavier-than-normal black coverage. The look is busier and more complex than a single-trait variant. Consistency across batches can vary because 'Fancy' describes a phenotype tier rather than a tightly fixed genetic cross. Buy from reputable captive breeders who can show photos of the actual fish rather than relying on a category name alone.
Origin
Emerged from U.S. captive breeding programs in the 2000s–2010s as hatcheries began crossing Picasso and Onyx lines; the name is a commercial grading term used by several producers rather than a strain with a single documented origin.
