Saltwater Clownfish - Aquatic Connection

Saltwater Aquarium Clownfish

Clown fish are some of the most popular fish in the saltwater aquarium hobby. They are very beautiful and fun to watch. They quickly catch the eye and many marine enthusiasts enter the hobby because of an attraction to these colorful beauties. You will often see clown fish nestled in an anemone. While other fish avoid its stinging tentacles, it will cause you to wonder what relation does a clown fish and a sea anemone have. In the wild, Clown fish live in symbiotic relationships with certain anemones. It means they live together and both the Clown fish and the anemone benefiting from each others company. In captivity anemones are not necessary to keep a clown fish. Though they are a striking addition to any reef aquarium, they are more challenging to keep. Clown fish will readily adapt without them and frequently find a substitute host in a coral, rock structure, or other invertebrate. If you decide to keep an anemone you should make sure its special needs are met.

CLOWNFISH AND ANENOME COMPATIBILITY

There is a definite closeness between clownfish and their host anenome. The anenome provides the protection for the clown, and in turn for this protection, the clown feeds and cleans the anenome. A true symbiotic relationship. But will any clown go into any anenome? Check out the chart and find out!

Ocellaris Clownfish
Amphiprion ocellaris

Identification:The ORA Tank Raised Ocellaris, or False Percula Clownfish is the most popular clownfish species in the marine aquarium hobby. It is called the False Percula because it is closely related to, and easily confused with, the Percula Clownfish (A. percula). These classic fish have brightly colored orange bodies with white stripes and thin black outlines. Ocellaris were one of the first marine aquarium fish to be successfully bred in captivity. Early success with their captive propagation helped lead the way in the development of the commercial marine ornamental aquaculture industry. In nature, A. ocellaris occurs in a wide range of the Indo-Pacific region including: Australia, the East Indies, Melanesia, the Philippines, and the Ryukyu Islands.

Ocellaris are one of the least aggressive members of the clownfish family, and usually tolerate other members of the same species in their tank. Friendly Ocellaris are easy to maintain in aquariums, they adapt well, and will accept a wide variety of aquarium foods.

Wild Caught
Gold Band Maroon Clownfish
Premnas biaculeatus

Identification:The Gold Band Maroon Clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus) typically has a deep red body color and three thin gold stripes: behind the head, through the middle of the fish and at the base of the tail. The Goldstripe Maroon Clownfish is a natural color variety that has thicker golden yellow stripes instead of white. Small individuals may have very faintly yellow or ivory-white stripes which deepen to gold as the fish matures. Though Maroon Clowns grow larger and more aggressive than most other clownfish species, the Goldstripe variety tends to stay smaller than the white-striped variant. Clownfish are some of the hardiest and most traditional fish for marine aquariums. They generally come from two genuses - most are in the genus Amphiprion with one species in the genus Premnas - and all are found in the Pomacentridae family along with damsels and chromises. They are some of the mostly widely tankraised fish, leading to more man-made variations becoming available like Misbars and Albinos as species are selectively bred and crossed.
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.

They are the same in every way except for their body proportions. As you can see in the photo, the Stubby Clownfish is shorter and wider than the typical Ocellaris. Because they are not bred but rather purely the result of a random mutation, they tend to run in shorter supply than normal Ocellaris Clownfish, also known as a False Percula. It is called the False Percula because it is closely related to, and easily confused with, the Percula Clownfish (A. percula).

Tankraised Maroon Clownfish
Premnas biaculeatus

Identification:The maroon clownfish, is also known as the spine-cheeked clownfish, or the maroon anemonefish. The female is usually larger than the male and dark red or maroon, and the male smaller and a bright red. Because of its spines, this clownfish should not be caught using a net. The spines can get entangled in the net, which can injure the fish. Instead, catching with a cup is recommended. The maroon clownfish is one of the larger, more aggressive members of the clown family. It is best to house them singly, the only exception being a mated pair. Do not mix maroon clownfish with any other type of clownfish or bullying will occur. A good way to curb their aggression is to rearrange the rock work periodically. Also if it is planned to keep one or a pair it is best to add them last. If the right parameters are met the maroon clown will be a hardy and amusing member of the aquarium community. They are human responsive to the point of trying to "intimidate" people with whom they are not familiar.

Picasso Clownfish
Amphiprion percula

Description: ORA Picassos are a highly sought after variant of the Percula Clownfish. The Picasso variant occurs naturally in the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea however it is exceptionally rare. ORA's strain of Picassos originated in 2004 from a single wild male from the Solomon Islands, which they paired a typical Black Onyx female. In subsequent years they added additional wild collected Picassos into their breeding program. These beautiful fish exhibit extra white mainly on their center stripe. Each individual fish is unique and hand-selected by ORA's experienced graders. These fish are graded on the amount of white present, the oddness of the striping, and the rarity of the markings. ORA does not use a definitive set of criteria for grading Picassos. Our fish may be radically marked on one side and merely have an extra blob of white on the other.ORA Picassos reach a seller size of 1.5 inches at approximately 7 - 8 months of age. Many of these juveniles have yet to develop the characteristic black in the mid-body. The black pigment will develop as the fish ages until maturity. We were hoping that our Picasso broodstock would produce thousands of Picasso offspring every year, however only a small percentage of fish from each Picasso spawn qualify to become Picassos or Premium Picassos. The majority of Picasso offspring look like ordinary Perculas.
FACTOID: Most Picasso clowns in the industry can be traced back to ORA’s breeding program.

Since it is considered one of the more difficult species to breed, ORA is thrilled to finally be breeding it in captivity. These true Black Polymnus are unique in that they are marked with complete middle bar, in contrast with the distinctive saddle. If nothing else you can distinguish the black saddle form from the ‘tradional’ brown saddle back by the third bar/tail stripe which is usually only present in the youngest brown saddle back clownfish.

The Platinum Percula is continuosly white from head to tail. No other clownfish has ever come close to the appearance of the Platinum Percula. The rarest of any clownfish morph ever developed, it will be the ultimate prize for any serious clown connoisseur.

Identification:The Platinum Percula is nearly all white variation of the True Percula Clownfish. The result of years of selective breeding, the Platinum Percula is derived from the famous Picasso Clownfish. This striking white clownfish develops orange and then black fins as it matures, and retains some orange color in the face.Not to be confused with the Snowflake Clownfish, which is actually A.ocellaris, the Platinum Percula show none of the original stripes characteristic of the species. While the middle stripe of the snowflake is wide and has jagged edges,the Platinum Percula is continuosly white from head to tail. No other clownfish from the wild or from breeders,has ever come close to appearance of the Platinum Percula.This is the rarest of any clownfish color morph ever developed, and it will be the ultimate prize for any serious clownfish connoisseur. While experimenting with pairing Picassos,even the breeders at ORA were surprised to find this extraordinary result.As the juveniles began to grow-out ORA noticed the development of black fins on the rapid growers. At first the dorsal,pectoral,ventraln and caudal fins appeared to be clear with some orange color. Then some black pigment appeared on the fins, as true perculas typically do produce more black color as they age. Finally ORA observed the full black fin color develop, and nothing looked more astonishing than black fins on a whiteclownfish. These fish will be shipped as juveniles with very little fin color,but expect to observe the full color develop over time.

Snowflake Clownfish
Amphiprion ocellaris

Identification:Snowflakes are a popular variant of A. ocellaris that have a considerable amount of irregular white markings on the body. The edges of the white coloration will typically be jagged and angular. Each Snowflake is evaluated by an experienced grader for the percentage of white and the attractiveness of the striping. Just as their name implies - no two are alike.

This popular clownfish was originally produced by Tropical Marine Centre in the UK around 1999. At that time extra white patterning was considered an undesirable trait. TMC had two, completely normal looking pairs of Ocellaris that produced two or three snowflakes once every couple of spawns. These pairs are still alive and reproducing today but they no longer produce Snowflakes. Only around 100 of these fish were ever exported to the United States making F1 Broodstock direct from TMC extremely rare. ORA obtained it’s first pair of F1 Snowflakes in 2005 and we have been working on developing a hardier and more colorful strain of this beautiful clownfish ever since.

Identification:ORA Premium Snowflakes are an especially striking form of A. ocellaris. They have an impressive amount of irregular white markings on the body. The edges of the white coloration will typically be jagged and angular. These elegant fish are carefully selected by our experienced graders and are available in extremely limited quantities. Just as their name implies - no two are alike. Often, as they mature, the edges of their white markings will develop a delicate baby blue hue worthy of their elite status.

This popular clownfish was originally produced by Tropical Marine Centre in the UK around 1999. At that time it was considered an undesirable trait. TMC had two, completely normal looking pairs of Ocellaris that produced two or three snowflakes once every couple of spawns. These pairs are still alive and reproducing today but they no longer produce Snowflakes. Only around 100 of these fish were ever exported to the United States making F1 Broodstock direct from TMC extremely rare. ORA obtained it’s first pair of F1 Snowflakes in 2005 and we have been working on developing a hardier and more colorful strain of this glorious clownfish ever since.

ORA™ Hatchery Certified Mated Pairs
Pink Skunk Clownfish
Amphiprion perideraion

Identification:The Pink Skunk Clownfish ranges from Fiji and the Indo-Pacific to the Coral Sea. The Pink Skunk Clownfish is one of the members of the Skunk Complex raised at ORA. The Pink Skunk has narrow bars on the sides of its head resembling side burns. They are a pinkish yellow or apricot colored fish that reaches a maximum size of 3 - 4 inches. They are a peaceful clownfish that can be easily kept in community or reef tanks. Breeding Pink Skunks is particularly challenging since mated pairs can take up to 5 years before spawning for the first time. The nests can have anywhere from 800-1500 eggs. Post-metamorphic juveniles will exhibit strong schooling or "balling" behaviors that will continue into adulthood.

ORA™ Hatchery Certified Mated Pairs
Australian Black Percula Clownfish
Amphiprion percula spec.

Identification:These are hatchery certified pairs from ORA. They are mated and have been together for several months. ORA did not need additional broodstock so they released them for sale to us. They are exceptional clowns in their own right, selected for potential breeding. They are being sold a little young so it will be a short while for your first spawn. During this term your new pair will be getting used to their new surroundings.

Mated pairs of Black Percula Clownfish typically spawn every 10-14 days and the eggs hatch in about 7-8 days. The female is generally the larger fish of the pair. As with some other marine fish, clownfish are protandrous hermaphrodites, meaning they exhibit sex reversal from males to females. The average nest size for A. ocellaris is about 250 eggs.

The Black and White Percula Clownfish is very distinctive with its jet-black body and three bluish-white bands on each side. A very good candidate for a reef aquarium, they are very hardy and are perfect for the novice or seasoned aquarist.

Mated Pairs Saddleback Clownfish
Amphiprion polymnus

Identification:The saddleback clownfish can be found in the eastern parts of the Indian and the Western parts of the Pacific oceans. Like most clownfish, they are most often observed living in a symbiotic relationship with a host anemone for protection and in the wild are most often seen in association with Stichodactyla haddoni (Saddle carpet anemone) or Heteractis crispa (Sebae anemone). Color ranges from dark brown to yellow orange with a thick white bar located just behind the eyes. A large white abbreviated saddle shape or slanted white bar across the middle of the fish's body makes it quite obvious to see how it got the name Saddleback . Aquarium specimens have been observed becoming lighter or darker after accepting a new host anemone species, sometimes within a few hours. In some varieties, typically those specimens initially associated with H. crispa anemone[1], the saddle shape may extend up onto the fish's Dorsal fin with a third white bar or margin located across the caudal peduncle .

Naked Ocellaris Clownfish
Amphiprion ocellaris

Identification:The ORA Naked Clownfish, aka the No-Stripe False Percula, is a variation of A. ocellaris that simply has no stripes at all. Over the years of breeding so many clownfish, we've discovered that occasionally a truly unique mutation spontaneously shows up in our grow-out tanks. This is the case with the Naked Ocellaris. It turns out these little oddballs beget more little oddballs and so we have a steady supply. The Naked was the first widely available Designer Clownfish. It’s lack of a head bar exaggerates its unique facial features and has lead many aquarists to mistake it for a Clown Goby in photographs. A select few individuals have one or two "cheek dots" where the head bar would normally be. These markings are especially charming.

ReefPods™ Tisbe by AlgaGen

Excellent food for Mandarins, Blennies, Gobies, Seahorses, and many other finicky eating fish

ReefPods™ Tisbe the most popular aquarium Pod -they consumes your aquarium’s wastes and detritus, reproduce well, and are food for a multitude of reef inhabitants!

ReefPods™ Tisbe is a live culture of the harpacticoid copepod Tisbe biminiensis. Tisbe adult copepods live on bottom substrate such as live rock or sand and will eat detritus and microalage in the aquarium. They produce a small nauplii which is an excellent food for aquarium filter feeders and fish larvae. The adults are eaten by small bottom feeding fish such as gobies, dragonettes and blennies.

ReefPods™ Tisbe may be used as a starter culture to add to marine aquarium refugiums or the main tank. Once established they will reproduce quickly, growing from nauplii to adults in about nine days. They will thrive in a wide range of aquarium temperatures and a wide range of salinities. It is suggested they be added to the aquarium at night or to the refugium to avoid immediate fish predation.

Tisbe is an excellent all purpose aquarium copepod owing to its role in the natural environment as a detritivore. An opportunist feeder, Tisbe can be used as a tank cleaner consuming uneaten food and wastes as well as phytoplankton in the tank and refugium. Tisbe is capable of producing many eggs during its adult life span that hatch into nauplii which will enter the water column as food for your filter feeding reef inhabitants and replenish the adult population vital to tank hygiene. Tisbe adults and juveniles may also enter the water column and be tasty and nutritious treats for your reef fish!
