Keep in mind
| One pair per aquarium |

|
This species lives in pairs (male and female), where the female is the biggest. One can typically have only one pair per aquarium, as it is very territorial towards its own kind. Sometimes one can successfully keep one female and several males. |
| Hermaphrodite |
|---|
| This species can change gender, male to female, where normally the female is the bigger. |
| Bred in captivity |
|---|
| This species can be bred in captivity, one can therefore consider asking your local fish store for a captive bred specimen. |
| Genus: Premnas |
|---|
| The Premnas genus consists of a single species, which differs from other Clownfish, as it has spines on its cheeks. They come in a few colour variations, the bands can for example be both white and yellow. This species can be very aggressive and becomes fairly large, therefore one should be cautious when keeping this type of Clownfish. They will not always thrive as a couple, as the female can be hard on the male, until he has been fully accepted. |
