I bought this clownfish for my 30-gallon tank and it has been thriving. It’s active and colorful, though I had to keep it separate from smaller fish. The aggression is noticeable, but it’s manageable with proper tank setup.

The fish looks great and matches the description well. I’m a beginner and found it easy to care for. Just make sure the tank is large enough and avoid keeping it with small shrimp or snails.
Isaac McDonald –
It’s a striking fish with a bold appearance. I noticed it’s quite aggressive and doesn’t tolerate other fish well. I had to remove a small gobies after a few days. Still, it’s a good addition to a well-planned reef setup.
