Longfin Black Ice Ocellaris Clownfish
(Amphiprion ocellaris)
Amphiprion Clownfish should be added to a well established aquarium with plenty of rock work and swimming area. Also known as anemonefish they are hardy, reef safe and easy to care for. They are also one of the most popular marine aquarium inhabitants. Anemonefish create a symbiotic relationship with anemones. Anemonefish are dependent on anemone's for shelter and protection and provide food and cleaning services to the anemone. They can be a bit territorial over their host anemone. Females are larger than the males and are protandrous hermaphrodites, meaning the juveniles mature into males but may reproduce as females later in life. Anemonefish should be fed a diet of meaty and herbivore based foods.
The Longfin Black Ice Ocellaris Clownfish is a unique cross between Longfin variations of the Snowflake Ocellaris and a Black & White Ocellaris. As their name states this is a longfin version of the Black Ice Ocellaris Clownfish with beautiful long flowing fins. This beautifully orange to brown colored Clownfish have irregular white shapes and patterns outlined in black, no two are alike making this variant a must have. This Clownfish variant is not quite rare. Longfin Black Ice Ocellaris Clownfish can grow to almost 4".
