Bali Aquarich Black Helmet Picasso Clownfish
(Amphiprion percula – Designer Morph)
WYSIWYG – Approx. Size: 2.25–3.25 Inches

The Black Helmet Picasso Clownfish is a striking designer morph developed by Bali Aquarich, known for its bold patterning and deep contrast. This variant features erratic white striping over a vibrant orange body, with a rich black “helmet” mask covering the face and extending across the head. Each individual has a unique pattern, often with thick, swirling bars or partial saddles. Captive-bred and naturally hardy, this morph brings both visual impact and personality to reef aquariums, making it a favorite among collectors and aquascapers alike.

Tank Requirements

Minimum Tank Size: 20 gallons (larger if kept in pairs or with anemones)

Environment: Rockwork, caves, and soft-flow areas; hosting anemones optional

Flow: Moderate to low

Lid: Recommended — clownfish may jump when startled

These clownfish thrive in well-established reef systems with stable parameters. While they do not require anemones, they may host in corals or artificial substitutes.

Natural Behavior

Clownfish are social, semi-territorial fish that often form bonds with specific locations or host anemones. They are known for their quirky, waddling swim pattern and their tendency to establish a “home base” in the tank. When paired, they often develop a peaceful, lifelong bond, with the dominant fish becoming female.

Diet & Feeding

These omnivorous fish accept a wide range of foods:

  • High-quality pellet or flake foods

  • Frozen mysis, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood

  • Occasional live foods for enrichment

Feed once or twice daily. A varied diet enhances coloration and vitality.

Tankmates & Compatibility

Temperament: Peaceful; may become territorial near hosting sites or during spawning

Reef Safe: Yes — safe with corals and inverts

Best With: Other peaceful community fish (e.g., gobies, firefish, blennies)

Avoid housing with aggressive tankmates or overly large predators. Compatible with other designer clownfish only in large systems to prevent aggression.
