Description
The Frostbite Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris variant) is a unique and visually striking member of the clownfish family. Its snowy white body is accented by contrasting black fins and vibrant orange on its face, giving it a distinctive frosty appearance. This color pattern has made the Frostbite Clownfish popular among marine hobbyists looking for something both familiar and extraordinary in a clownfish.
This species is known for its semi-aggressive temperament, particularly when it matures or if it is protecting a host anemone. It is a hardy fish, suitable for beginner and advanced aquarists alike, and adapts well to various tank setups, particularly reef environments. Though compatible with most peaceful tank mates, it’s best to house only one pair per tank unless it’s a very large setup.
In terms of diet, the Frostbite Clownfish is an omnivore, thriving on a mixture of high-quality pellets, flake food, and frozen or live food such as brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. With its striking coloration and ease of care, this clownfish is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a lively, unique character to their marine aquarium.
