Picasso designer clownfish: Clownfish are typically the first marine aquariums that come to mind while discussing them. This fish has grown to be one of the most well-known ornamental fish in the entire world because it is colorful, comes in a variety of patterns, is simple to care for, and exhibits highly interesting behavior.
The popularity of clownfish has been greatly boosted by several kid-friendly films and documentaries, to the point where some people refer to the species as the Nemo Fish.
Before the fish hit popularity on TV and in movies it was an underwater photographer’s and documentarian’s favorite as they are mesmerized by its graceful swimming style and its body’s vibrant colors, which range from orange, red, black, yellow, and pink. Observing these fish swimming between the anemone tentacles is intriguing in addition to being beautiful.
The majority of these fish have stripes or contoured imperfections, which are what gave them their name because they resemble the painted face of a clown. Since it meets or exceeds the market demand for all marine ornamental fish worldwide, it is one of the most significant marine ornamental species from a commercial standpoint, both in terms of extraction and raising features.
Clownfish are one of approximately 25 species. One of the most prevalent in household aquariums is the Ocellaris Black designer clownfish.

Picasso clownfish are a subspecies of Percula clownfish with naturally occurring variations in their color and striping pattern.
The degree to which the white stripes deviate from conventional vertical lines and the amount of white in the stripes are what distinguish them from conventional Percula clowns.
It’s interesting to note that just a few fish from each spawn exhibit stripes that would be considered Picassos; the majority resemble classic real Percula clowns.
A color variant of the Percula Clownfish is the Picasso Clownfish Misbar. Picasso clownfish are quite distinct from conventional Percula clownfish in terms of the stripe pattern, body color, and overall morphology. Picasso clownfish, Premium Picasso clownfish, and Picasso Misbar are the three categories of Picasso clownfish that Sea & Reef Aquaculture supplies.
