Description

Beware of

Territorial
These fish enjoy having their own territory and can be very aggressive towards most approaching fishes.

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: Amphiprion – Clarkii complex
Species in the Clarkii complex are well suited to aquarium life, but are a bit more aggressive then i.e. A. ocellaris and are a bit larger than most other clownfish. Amphiprion akindynos is orange/brown with a white band on its head, one on the body and one at the back which continues right up to the tail. Amphiprion bicinctus can be recognized by the wide white or grey band on its head, and the single band on the body. They usually have a yellow/orange body and tail, but can also have a brown area on the body. Amphiprion chrysogaster is recognized by the white band by the tail which continues along the upper part of the tail. Amphiprion chrysopterus are often dark brown on most of their body with two white/blue/orange bands. Their fins are orange/yellow and their tails are white/yellow. Amphiprion clarkii is available in many variations but is usually brown with two wide white bands and a thin band at the caudal fin. Amphiprion omanensis has a brownish colour with two thin white bands and a white tail. Amphiprion tricinctus is either orange or black with 3 white bands.
