Amphiprion frenatus, commonly known as the Tomato Clownfish, is a popular choice for marine aquarium enthusiasts due to its vibrant colouration and relatively hardy nature. This listing offers a pair of Tomato Clownfish in various sizes, suitable for both beginner and experienced hobbyists.
Appearance: The Tomato Clownfish is characterised by its bright red-orange body with a single white vertical bar behind the eye. Males are typically smaller and less intensely coloured than females.
Temperament and Compatibility: Amphiprion frenatus is generally peaceful but can be territorial, especially when paired or kept with anemones. They are compatible with a wide range of peaceful marine species but should not be housed with aggressive fish that may harass them.
Diet: These clownfish are omnivorous and thrive on a varied diet including high-quality marine pellets, frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and algae-based foods.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended for a pair to provide adequate swimming space and territory. Stable water parameters and good filtration are essential for their health.
Reef Compatibility: Reef safe with caution; while generally safe with corals, they may host anemones which require specific care.
Care Level: Suitable for beginner to intermediate aquarists due to their hardy nature and adaptability.
Additional Notes: When introducing a pair, it is best to add them simultaneously to reduce territorial disputes. Tank-bred specimens are preferred for better acclimation and reduced impact on wild populations.
