Description
The Blue Stripe Clown (Tonga) is a rare and visually stunning species, featuring a vibrant orange body accented by unique blue and white stripes. This clownfish is known for its semi-aggressive temperament, especially as it establishes its territory, making it best suited for tanks with ample space and non-aggressive tank mates.
Native to the waters around Tonga, this clownfish is reef-compatible and can live harmoniously in a reef setting. It may host in anemones but will thrive without one, making it versatile in different tank setups. The Blue Stripe Clown is an omnivore and requires a balanced diet that includes high-quality pellets, flakes, and frozen foods such as mysis and brine shrimp.
This clownfish is relatively hardy and moderately easy to care for, although its territorial behavior means it may defend its area, especially in smaller tanks. A minimum tank size of 30 gallons is recommended, providing adequate room for both movement and establishing territory. The Blue Stripe Clown (Tonga) is an excellent choice for aquarists looking for a colorful, unique addition to their reef tank with a touch of personality.
