| True Ocellaris Clownfish, Amphiprion ocellaris, is
commonly found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Clownfish, also known as Anemonefish, are omnivores
that will eat a wide variety of prepared and frozen foods.
Brine Shrimp are a favorite treat of these amusing little
fish. Clownfish have gained a high level of popularity in
the saltwater hobby because of their hardiness and
abundance of personality. They will form shoals in the
home aquarium with the two dominant fish becoming a
pair. The largest Clown is typically the terminal female,
the next largest the male, and the others remain
juveniles. Tank-raised specimens are typically
considered extremely hardy and they adapt better to the
home aquarium than wild-caught specimens. |
