Description
The Orange Ocellaris Clown (Amphiprion ocellaris), often referred to as the “Nemo” fish due to its popularity from the animated film, is a vibrant and hardy species ideal for beginner aquarists. This tank-raised variant features a bright orange body adorned with striking black bands, making it visually appealing in any reef setup. Typically growing to about 4 inches, it exhibits a peaceful temperament, making it compatible with a variety of tank mates, including other small fish and invertebrates.
As an omnivore, the Orange Ocellaris Clown enjoys a balanced diet of high-quality flakes, pellets, and frozen foods, such as brine shrimp and mysis. It can also form a symbiotic relationship with anemones, providing both protection and food. Its easy care requirements and engaging behavior make it a fantastic choice for both novice and experienced aquarists alike.
