The Premium Black Ice Nemo is a stunning designer variation of the Ocellaris clownfish, sustainably bred for marine aquariums. This rare and beautiful fish showcases a unique blend of snowy white body patches with deep black accents and an icy marbled pattern, making it an eye-catching addition to any reef setup. The contrasting colors and flowing pattern on the Premium Black Ice Nemo bring a touch of elegance and exclusivity, perfect for aquarists seeking something extraordinary.

True to the social nature of clownfish, the Premium Black Ice Nemo thrives in a close-knit family group. Each group is led by a dominant female, with a breeding male and several juveniles. If the female is lost, the male transforms into the new female, and one of the juveniles steps up as the new breeding male. This fascinating family hierarchy ensures a stable and harmonious environment, adding a layer of natural interaction to the aquarium.

While clownfish are known for their symbiotic relationship with anemones in the wild, the Premium Black Ice Nemo adapts well to other secure environments. In the Living Ecosystems Aquarium, the Living Blocks Reef provides ample shelter with protected areas and overhangs that mimic the natural cover of anemones or corals, creating a safe and enriching habitat for these fish.

Reproduction:
The Premium Black Ice Nemo is a devoted parent. The female lays 200-400 eggs on a flat, secure surface near their home. The male then takes responsibility for guarding and fanning the eggs, ensuring they remain well-oxygenated until hatching. After about 6-10 days, the eggs hatch at night, and the tiny fry are released into the water, eventually settling and beginning to grow.
