Clownfish: Platinum Picasso

Amphiprion percula

The Platinum Percula is a magnificent white variation of the Percula Clownfish. These striking fish do not exhibit any of the original striping characteristic of the species, they are typically continuously white from head to tail.  As Platinums mature, they will develop beautiful black fins that really stand out against the white body and orange face.

Size and Lifespan

The Platinum Picasso Clownfish grow up to be about 4 inches and can live between 12-20 years with proper care.

Tank Size and Requirements

More space is always beneficial, but a minimum tank size of 15 gallons is recommended for a Picasso Clownfish (single or pair). If you plan to add other tankmates, consider a larger aquarium to provide adequate space and reduce territorial behavior.

Diet

The Clownfish diet consists of meaty items such as frozen shrimp and herbivore preparations.
