Premium Fancy White Nemo Clownfish (A. Ocellaris)

Clownfish are among the most popular and recognisable marine fish, loved for their hardy nature, engaging personalities, and vibrant colours. Sustainably cultured clownfish are well-suited to marine aquariums, with their striking colouration and curious behaviour making them a favourite for families and hobbyists alike.

Social Behaviour
Clownfish live in fascinating social hierarchies. Each group has a dominant female, the next largest fish becomes the breeding male, and the rest remain juveniles. If the female dies, the breeding male changes sex to
become the new female, and one juvenile steps up as the new breeding male. This unique social structure helps clownfish maintain a balanced and stable family group.

Habitat & Adaptability
In nature, clownfish live among sea anemones for shelter and protection. In aquariums, however, they readily adapt to alternatives such as corals, reef structures, or rock crevices. They are often seen using large tree corals and xenia for cover. In the Living Ecosystems Aquarium, the Living
Blocks Reef provides similar overhangs and sheltered spaces they naturally
seek.

Breeding
Clownfish are attentive parents. Females lay clutches of 200–400 eggs on flat surfaces close to their chosen shelter. The male guards and fans the eggs to keep them oxygenated until hatching, usually within a week.

Aggression & Stocking
Clownfish can become territorial if kept in numbers above recommended limits. Overcrowding leads to stress and aggression as they defend their hierarchy and chosen shelter. Always follow the capacity guide for the
right number of fish to ensure a peaceful and healthy aquarium.

Varieties
Clownfish are available in Standard, Premium, and Platinum colourations:

• Standard:
  Classic orange with three white bands.
• Premium:
  Distinctive, brighter markings or irregular band patterns.
• Platinum:
  Rare, mostly white with unique patterning.

These varieties differ in colouration and rarity, which is reflected in their price.

In addition, there are also regionally unique species, such as the Abrolhos Islands Clownfish, which display distinct patterns and behaviours linked to their natural environments.
