On location in Bali, Indonesia – birthplace of the first captive bred clarion angelfish
Just over two months ago we took delight in reporting that the highly coveted and gorgeous Clarion angelfish had been successfully bred and reared, in Bali, Indonesia of all places. From a distance it may seem odd that Holacanthus clarionensis would be propagated so, so far from home but when you realize that Bali Aquarich took Read More
Captive bred clarion angelfish becomes a reality at Bali Aquarich
Bali Aquarich has been a trailblazer of captive bred angelfish, first with the Annularis angels and now with captive bred Clarion angelfish. While small annularis angelfish are cheap enough that you may see them and their captive bred counterparts in the LFS, the upside down pricing structure of Clarion angelfish ensures that these captive bred Holacanthus clarionensis Read More

Bali Aquarich – Contender for first captive-bred Annularis angelfish
A recent spate of captive breeding successes, particularly with the Koran angelfish Pomacanthus semicirculatus, had us wondering what the next captive bred ”Big Angel” would be. Based on what we’re seeing from Bali Aquarich (producers of the first captive-bred Pinnatus Batfish), it appears that we can now add Pomacanthus annularis to the list of firsts we can Read More
Super Picasso Clownfish from Bali Aquarich has wild and wacky stripes
This weird Super Picasso clownfish from Bali Aquarich is sporting some very unusual features, even for a captive raised fish, although it does seem to have very good shape and fins.

Bali Aquarich leaks sneak peek of Picasso Sebae Clownfish – updated
Here are five seconds of designer clownfish heaven, showing what is undeniably the first “Picasso-type” stripe variation in the True Sebae Clownfish, Amphiprion sebae.

Picasso Clarkii clownfish likely originating from Bali Aquarich
The Picasso Clarki clownfish is a strain that has been a long time coming, considering we’ve had picasso, snowflake, platinum and wyoming white clownfish for years as well as misbarred maroons and spotcinctus clownfish. We first spied a picture of a truly picasso patterned clarki clownfish while researching the captive breeding of the pinnatus batfish Read More
