Amphiprion ocellaris Black Bullet Hole, bred in France, ACDP, 3–4 cm

Amphiprion ocellaris Black Bullet Hole 3-4 cm – Black and White Captive-Bred Clownfish

The Amphiprion ocellaris Black Bullet Hole is an original selectively bred morph of the famous ocellaris clownfish. Derived from the Black Snowflake lineage, it stands out for its dark coloration combined with irregular white patterns marked by distinctive spots reminiscent of small impacts, which gave rise to the name “Bullet Hole.”

The specimens offered measure approximately 3 to 4 cm. Their contrasting pattern, which varies from one individual to another, gives the reef aquarium a particularly original visual identity.

A Morph from the Black Snowflake Lineage

The Black Bullet Hole belongs to the family of so-called “designer” Amphiprion ocellaris, selected for their special variations in color and pattern.

According to the French breeder Au Cœur du Poisson, Black Snowflakes are the result of a cross between Black Ice and Full Black lineages. Their base color is mainly black, and their white bands have more irregular shapes than those of a classic ocellaris.

The Black Bullet Hole is a Black Snowflake variant that also features distinctive markings within its pattern, visually evoking small impacts. These markings help make each fish unique.

A Black and White Clownfish with an Original Pattern

The dark coloration of the Black Bullet Hole contrasts strongly with its irregular white areas. Its appearance evolves around the Snowflake pattern, with markings that do not follow the three regular bands characteristic of a classic Amphiprion ocellaris.

This combination of black, white, and irregular patterns gives the Black Bullet Hole a graphic look that is particularly well suited to reef aquariums where a clownfish different from traditional forms is desired.

Behavior and Compatibility in a Reef Aquarium

The behavior of the Black Bullet Hole remains that of an Amphiprion ocellaris. It is generally a sociable fish with other compatible aquarium species, but it can defend its territory, especially once a pair has formed.

It is particularly well suited to being kept as a pair. However, housing several clownfish in the same aquarium can lead to significant territorial behavior and requires an appropriate setup and experience.

The Black Bullet Hole is compatible with a reef aquarium and can be kept perfectly well without an anemone. In captive-bred clownfish, pairing with an anemone is not essential to their well-being.

Some individuals may nevertheless spontaneously seek a host in the aquarium when an anemone or certain invertebrates are present.

French Breeding by Au Cœur du Poisson

The Amphiprion ocellaris Black Bullet Hole offered in this selection come from the French breeding facility Au Cœur du Poisson, which specializes in breeding ornamental marine fish.

Captive breeding makes it possible to offer fish that are accustomed from an early stage to aquarium conditions, while avoiding the removal of these selectively bred morphs from the natural environment.

The Black Bullet Hole is directly listed by Au Cœur du Poisson among its various Amphiprion ocellaris Black Snowflake morphs.

Care and Feeding of the Amphiprion Black Bullet Hole

The Black Bullet Hole does not require any additional special care compared with a classic Amphiprion ocellaris. It should be placed in a properly cycled marine aquarium with stable parameters and filtration suited to the tank’s population.

The Amphiprion ocellaris can reach about 10 to 11 cm as an adult. The fish offered here are young specimens measuring around 3 to 4 cm.

As an omnivore, the Black Bullet Hole accepts a varied marine diet. Suitable foods include:

• high-quality pellets suitable for marine fish;
• frozen foods such as mysis;
• brine shrimp;
• varied marine preparations suitable for omnivorous fish.

A varied diet adapted to the fish’s size helps support growth, overall condition, and the maintenance of its coloration.
