Allardi’s Clownfish
Also called Allardis anemonefish, is a great addition to most tanks, reef safe and a good neighbor. The female fish are more aggressive and larger, but there is a reason for that. Clownfish are hermaphrodites and start as males and become female when they get old. These clownfish will eat just about anything except reefs. Allardi’s grow to five inches, expect a two inch fish upon shipping.

Received my Allardi’s Clownfish in good condition. It was about two inches when shipped and has grown steadily. It’s peaceful and stays near the anemone. Feeds well on mysis shrimp and flakes. Easy to care for in a 50-gallon tank.

The fish arrived healthy and active. It’s not the largest clownfish, but it’s active and seems happy. I feed it a mix of frozen and flake food. It’s a good fit for my reef tank.

Great addition to my tank. The fish is calm and doesn’t stress other inhabitants. It’s been two months now and still thriving. I appreciate the clear instructions on feeding and tank size.
