Super Storm Clownfish, Captive-Bred 1.75" WYSIWYG

The Super Storm comes from the Storm clownfish brood line. The resulting fish is white masked face and smooth, exaggerated connecting barring covering almost the whole body in white, with black margins are found on the edges of all fins and thin black lines bordering the white. Holes of color between the bars not connecting can be orange, mocha or black.

Like all clownfish, Amphiprion ocellaris is a sequential hermaphrodite. The largest individual present will exert dominance and become reproductively female. The next largest fish will become reproductively male. Remaining smaller individuals are usually tolerated but will not be reproductively active.

The Captive-Bred Super Storm Clownfish has unique advantages over wild-harvested species. For one, the Captive-Bred Ocellaris Clownfish is very hardy and more accustomed to conditions found in home aquariums. Therefore, it makes a great choice for novices and seasoned aquarists alike. The Captive-Bred Super Storm Clownfish can also be kept with a variety of other captive-bred clownfish, if introduced into the aquarium at the same time.

The Captive-Bred Super Storm Clownfish is also easy to breed in the home aquarium. The females will be the largest of the pair and the two fish will usually stay close to each other in the aquarium. The Captive-Bred Super Storm Clownfish is an egg layer and will deposit the eggs on a flat surface and defend the eggs from other tankmates. The eggs will normally hatch in 6-11 days depending on the water temperature. The fry must be reared in a separate aquarium on a diet of rotifers followed by baby brine shrimp.

This Clownfish is an aggressive eater. It will accept most meaty foods and frozen herbivore preparations.

By providing an alternative to wild-caught fish, Captive-Bred fish are helping to reduce human impact on ocean reef ecosystems, thus supporting reef conservation and the future of marine aquarium keeping.
