Can you breed a percula clownfish to a ocellaris clownfish?

    It's probably possible, but would be very unlikely to happen. Although clowns are one of the more commonly bred saltwater fish, it is still very hard to breed them in captivity.

    I don't know about breeding them. I only know the Percula clown is the real thing and the Ocellaris is the fake version.

    yes you can but chances are they won't breed. If they did this would create an already known fish. unlike other fish, clowns don't or won't tend to breed with others of their species. that isn't to say it isn't possiable but don't get your hopes up. the main reason being, clowns, of a species placed in a tank will turn female. If you have one of each, chances are they are now both female. If you have other clowns in the tank, they will stick to their own to breed.

    Yes, hybrids happen in nature as well as when man intervenes.
