The Clarkii Clownfish is active and colorful. It adapted well to my tank after a week. The white stripes stand out against the reddish base. I feed it frozen brine shrimp and blanched vegetables. It’s a great addition to a community tank with compatible fish.
Keith Bond –
I received the fish in good condition. The juvenile coloration was vibrant, and it has started to show the adult pattern. It’s not aggressive and stays near the anemone. Feeding is easy with regular meaty foods.
Pippa Hughes –
The black variant is striking. The white stripes on the body and the yellow-edged anal fin are very noticeable. It’s easy to care for and stays calm in a 20-gallon tank. I’m happy with the purchase.
