The Domino Clownfish (Amphiprion perideraion) is a beautiful and peaceful species prized for its subtle pink-orange coloration and a single white stripe running along its dorsal ridge. This tank-bred variety ensures healthier specimens with improved acclimation to aquarium life and reduced impact on wild populations.
Temperament and Compatibility: Generally peaceful, the Domino Clownfish coexists well with other non-aggressive fish and is suitable for reef aquariums. It forms symbiotic relationships with certain anemones, such as Heteractis magnifica and Stichodactyla species, providing natural behaviour displays. Avoid housing with overly aggressive tank mates to reduce stress.
Diet: Omnivorous and adaptable, this clownfish thrives on a varied diet including high-quality marine pellets, frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. Regular feeding 1-2 times daily supports vibrant colouration and health.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to provide ample swimming space and territory. Stable water parameters with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.023-1.025 SG, and good filtration are essential. Moderate lighting and gentle to moderate water flow mimic natural reef conditions.
Origin: Tank-bred specimens bred in captivity, ensuring sustainability and disease resistance.
Available in various sizes to suit different aquarium setups, the Domino Clownfish is an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced marine aquarists seeking a charming and hardy clownfish species.
