Amphiprion latifasciatus, commonly known as the Broad-banded Clownfish, is a striking and hardy species ideal for marine aquarium enthusiasts seeking a visually appealing and manageable clownfish. Our stock is tank-bred, ensuring healthier specimens better adapted to captive conditions.
Appearance: This species is characterised by its broad white bands contrasted against a vibrant orange body, making it a standout addition to any reef tank.
Temperament and Compatibility: Amphiprion latifasciatus is generally peaceful but can exhibit territorial behaviour, especially towards conspecifics or similar clownfish species. It is compatible with a range of peaceful tank mates but should be housed with caution alongside other clownfish to avoid aggression.
Diet: This omnivorous species 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 is recommended to maintain optimal health.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 75 litres (approximately 20 gallons) is advised to provide ample swimming space and territory. Stable water parameters with a temperature range of 24-27°C, salinity of 1.023-1.025 SG, and pH between 8.1-8.4 are ideal.
Habitat and Placement: This species forms symbiotic relationships with certain sea anemones, such as Heteractis magnifica or Stichodactyla mertensii. Providing an appropriate host anemone enhances natural behaviour and wellbeing. Placement should allow the fish to establish territory while ensuring compatibility with other tank inhabitants.
Reef Safety: Yes, Amphiprion latifasciatus is reef safe and can be kept in reef aquariums without harming corals or invertebrates.
