The Australian Clownfish is a brightly colored variety of the Tomato Clownfish. This member of the Pomacentridae family has an exciting tangerine orange body tinged with a full, bright orange face, tail, and dorsal, anal, pectoral, and caudal fin. In addition to being beautiful, the hardy Australian Clownfish is fairly active and creates a gorgeous, eye-catching focal point.

Like many other anemonefish, or clownfish, the Australian Clownfish will form a symbiotic relationship with larger anemones like Entacmaea quadricolor. The Australian Clownfish is native to the reefs of Fiji and other South Pacific countries. To best recreate its natural habitat, house the Australian Clownfish in larger marine systems with plenty of rockwork amongst which it can hide. Care also needs to be taken when choosing tankmates since the Australian Clownfish is semi-aggressive and may intimidate shy or passive fish with its boisterous activity.

For the best care, feed the Australian Clownfish a varied diet that includes meaty food items, such as mysis shrimp and frozen preparations, as well as suitable flake foods. Some aquarists report having bred this species in the home aquarium with or without an anemone host.

The Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish, also known as the Black Perc, Black Percula Clown Anemonefish, or Black and White False Percula Clown and is normally found in association with anemones on the reefs of the Coral Sea. It can be found individually, or more commonly, in pairs or small groups within the same anemone such as Heteractis magnifica or Stichodactyla mertensii. These tank bred clownfish grow to a maximum size of 3 inches in the aquarium, and may be kept singly or in groups.

The Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish is very distinctive with its jet-black body and three white stripes on each side. They are very hardy and are perfect for the novice or seasoned aquarist.

The Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish is a good candidate for a reef aquarium. If introduced to the aquarium at the same time, many varieties of tank raised clowns can be maintained together in the aquarium.

Tank bred clownfish are easy to breed in the home aquarium. The females will be the largest of the pair, and two fish will usually stay close to each other in the aquarium. These fish are egg layers and will deposit the eggs on a flat surface, and defend the eggs from other tank mates. The eggs will normally hatch in 6-11 days depending on the temperature. The fry must be reared in a separate aquarium on a diet of rotifers then baby brine shrimp.

Tank bred clownfish are omnivores, requiring both meaty foods as well as some greens in their diet. A high quality marine flake food, rich in spirulina algae, as well as freeze dried and frozen foods are readily accepted.
