ocellaris

Identification:The Tank-Bred Ocellaris
Clownfish has many unique advantages over the wild-caught Ocellaris
species. For one, the Tank-Bred Ocellaris Clownfish is very hardy
and more accustomed to conditions found in home aquariums. Therefore,
it makes a great choice for beginners and seasoned aquarists.
You can also help protect the fragile reef environments of the
world by purchasing Tank-Bred species when available. Last, the
Tank-Bred Ocellaris Clownfish can also be kept with a variety
of other tank-bred clownfish, just make sure they are introduced
into the aquarium at the same time. If you are interested in
attempting to breed clownfish, the Tank-Bred Ocellaris Clownfish
is also easy to breed in the home aquarium. The Tank-Bred Ocellaris
Clownfish is an egg layer and will deposit the eggs on a flat
surface and defend the eggs from other tankmates. The eggs will
normally hatch in 6-11 days depending on the water temperature.
The fry must be reared in a separate aquarium. The females will
be the largest of the pair and the two fish will usually stay
close to each other most of the time, in the aquarium.

Gold
Band Maroon Clownfish
Premnas
biaculeatus

Identification:The Gold Band Maroon
Clownfish is very similar to the Maroon Clown fish with the exception
of its stripes, which are gold instead of white. Recieved from
Bali, these gold bands have 3 bright gold stripes. Far less aggressive
than their relatives with white bands. As with most clownfish
the Gold Maroon Clownfish is best kept singly unless a pair is
introduced together. Generally, it is a great fish for the reef
aquarium and spends much of its time nestled peacefully in its
anemone. If you plan to keep other clownfish, it is best to do
it in a larger aquarium of 100 gallons or more and provide each
clownfish, or pair of clownfish, with their own anemone. That
way each fish has a comfortable home and quarrels will be reduced.
Adding all of the clownfish at the same time will also help to
reduce territorial disputes.
Note: The Gold Band Maroon
Clownfish does not require a host anemone for survival; however
it is a real treat for any hobbyist to observe the symbiotic
relationship between the clownfish and its host anemone. The
anemone provides a safe haven for the clownfish because its tentacles
will inflict a painful sting on all but other clownfish. The
clownfish, in return, chases off fish that threaten to pick at
the anemone and brings it scraps of food. The Gold Maroon Clownfish
adapts to almost all common sea anemones, but prefers the Bubbletip
Anemone.
