Available as a pair in various sizes, these clownfish bring vibrant colour and dynamic behaviour to your tank.
Temperament and Compatibility: Amphiprion epigrammata are generally peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish species. They form strong pair bonds and are best housed as a mated pair. Caution is advised when mixing with other anemonefish species to avoid territorial disputes.
