Description
Clarkii Clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii / Clark's Clownfish)
The Clarkii Clownfish is a bold, hardy, and highly adaptable marine fish, recognised for its contrasting black, white, and yellow colouration. One of the larger and more confident clownfish species, it is also well known for forming relationships with a wide variety of host anemones, making it a fantastic addition to established marine and reef aquariums.
Compatibility:
Semi-aggressive. Generally compatible with tangs, wrasses, angelfish, gobies, blennies, and other confident marine species. Established individuals and pairs can become territorial, particularly around a host anemone or chosen nesting area. Avoid mixing with other clownfish species in smaller aquariums.
Reef Compatibility:
Reef-safe. Safe with corals and most ornamental invertebrates. Clarkii Clownfish readily associate with several species of host anemone, although an anemone is not required for successful captive care.
Diet:
Omnivore – readily accepts high-quality marine flakes and pellets, mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, finely chopped seafood, and algae-containing foods. Feed 1–2 times daily with a varied diet.
Water Parameters:
- Temperature: 24–27°C
- Salinity: 1.023–1.026 SG
- pH: 8.1–8.4
- Minimum Tank Size: 100L (150L+ recommended for an established pair)
Care Level:
Easy – hardy, adaptable, and readily accepts prepared foods, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced marine aquarists.
Top Tip:
Clarkii Clownfish can become surprisingly territorial once established, especially as a breeding pair. Provide plenty of rockwork and defined territories, and give them additional space if keeping them alongside other confident or territorial fish.
