Amphiprion biaculeatus, commonly referred to as the Twobar Anemonefish, is a popular choice for marine aquarium enthusiasts seeking a visually striking and peaceful clownfish species. This listing features tank-bred specimens available in various sizes, ensuring healthier fish with better acclimation to captive conditions.
Appearance and Behaviour: The Twobar Anemonefish is easily identified by its distinctive two white bars across a vibrant orange to reddish body. Known for its relatively peaceful temperament, it can be kept singly or in pairs. However, care should be taken when housing with other clownfish species to avoid territorial disputes.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: This species is generally reef safe and can be kept with anemones such as Heteractis magnifica or Stichodactyla gigantea. It coexists well with other peaceful tank mates but avoid aggressive or much larger fish that may stress it.
Diet: Amphiprion biaculeatus is an omnivore and thrives on a varied diet including high-quality marine pellets, frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and marine algae. Regular feeding 1-2 times daily is recommended to maintain optimal health.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 75 litres (approximately 20 gallons) is advised to provide sufficient swimming space and territory. Stable water parameters with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity of 1.023-1.025, and good filtration are essential. Moderate lighting and gentle to moderate water flow suit this species well.
Husbandry Tips: As a tank-bred fish, Amphiprion biaculeatus adapts well to aquarium life and is less prone to disease than wild-caught specimens. Quarantine new arrivals and maintain excellent water quality for best results.
