Received my clownfish in good condition. The coloration is vibrant and the fish seems active and healthy. It’s been two weeks in the tank and it’s adjusting well to the environment. The full bar pattern is very striking in the tank.

The fish arrived quickly and looked well packaged. It has been in the tank for a month and is eating the prepared food regularly. The misbar pattern is a nice addition to the community group.

Great choice for beginners. The captive-bred fish didn’t stress during the transition. It’s very active and has started to interact with the anemone. Highly recommend for saltwater setups.
