Teardrop Ocellaris Clownfish
Ocellaris Clownfish, Amphiprion ocellaris, is commonly found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Clownfish, also known as Anemonefish, are omnivores that will eat a wide variety of prepared and frozen foods. Clownfish have gained a high level of popularity in the saltwater hobby because of their hardiness and abundance of personality. They will form shoals in the home aquarium with the two dominant fish becoming a pair. The largest Clown is typically the terminal female, the next largest the male, and the others remain juveniles. Tank-raised specimens are typically considered extremely hardy and they adapt better to the home aquarium than wild-caught specimens.
This particular type of clown is referred to as the teardrop morph, referring to the stripe in the center of its body stopping mid way and having a teardrop appearance. This fish will also lack one of the rear tail stripes that is usually found on normal Ocellaris.
Approximate Arrival Size for Clownfish: 1.5 to 2.5 inches
