Saltwater Fish
	Common Name(s) Ocellaris Clownfish Scientific Name(s) Amphiprion ocellaris Family Name Water Type Saltwater Description The Ocellaris Clownfish is often confused with the Percula Clownfish, which has a similar orange and white color scheme. The easiest way to tell them apart is to remember that the Percula Clownfish has thick bands of black between his white stripes while the Ocellaris Clownfish has only a thin black line along the edge of its stripes. As with most clownfish the Ocellaris Clownfish is best kept singly unless a pair is introduced together. It may attack other clownfishes and nip at passive tank-mates who wonder near its host anemone or territory. It is a great fish for the reef aquarium and spends much of its time nestled peacefully in its anemone. If you plan to keep other clownfish, it is best to do it in a larger aquarium of 100 gallons or more. Adding all of the clownfish at the same time will also help to reduce territorial disputes. The Ocellaris Clownfish does not require a host anemone for survival Tank Conditions: Minimum of 20 gallons, sg:1.020-1.025. Origin Indo- Pacific Diet Omnivore: offer frozen carnivore and herbivore preparations including mysid shrimp, brine shrimp, chopped marine flesh. Care Level Moderate Temperature 72 - 78 (Deg. F.)
