Clark’s Clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii) is a popular choice among marine aquarium hobbyists due to its robust nature and vibrant colour patterns. This small-sized variant is perfect for hobbyists looking to add a peaceful and visually striking clownfish to their reef tanks.
Temperament and Compatibility: Amphiprion clarkii is generally peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish species. It is known to coexist well with anemones and other reef-safe invertebrates, making it suitable for community reef aquariums.
Diet: This species is omnivorous and adapts well to a varied diet including high-quality marine pellets, flakes, frozen mysis shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. Regular feeding 1-2 times daily is recommended.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 75 litres (20 gallons) is advised to provide ample swimming space and territory. Stable water parameters with temperatures between 24-27°C, salinity of 1.023-1.025 SG, and good water quality are essential for optimal health.
Lighting and Water Flow: Moderate lighting is sufficient, especially if kept with anemones or corals. Moderate water flow mimicking natural reef conditions is ideal to ensure oxygenation without stressing the fish.
Placement: Clark’s Clownfish often establish symbiotic relationships with host anemones such as Heteractis magnifica or Entacmaea quadricolor. Providing suitable hosts enhances their natural behaviour and wellbeing.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Up to 12 cm (4.7 inches).
