The clownfish are active and colorful, adding a lot of charm to my 30-gallon tank. I’ve maintained stable water parameters and feed them twice a day with a mix of brine shrimp and algae wafers. They seem healthy and adapted well after a few weeks.

Great addition to my reef tank. The maroon color stands out well. I keep the water tested weekly and have a good filter. They don’t seem to eat much, but I’ve noticed they’re more active during feeding times.

Easy to care for once the water conditions are set. I followed the recommended parameters and now have a pair that swim together and stay in the anemone area. Very satisfied with the color and behavior.
