Sebae Clownfish are a different variation of the common orange coloured Clown Fish. An excellent choice for beginners, they will grow up to 15cm for females and 8cm for males and need to be kept an aquarium at least 120 litres in capacity. Can be kept with other hardy fish of a similar temperament in a reef tank and feed a mix of flake, live and frozen marine foods.
Clowns are the most popular fish in the marine hobby, a species that all hobbyists are likely to have kept at some point. Synonymous with the cartoon film character ‘Nemo’, these are very easy to keep and are available with various differing colours and patterns, usually not growing to any more than 13cm.
It is advisable but not essential for Clownfish to be kept with an anemone which will encourage natural behaviour. They love to live within the tentacles and mucus on their skin protects them from any stinging that the anemones can give out. These anemones give the Clown Fish protection from predators.
Suitable for reef aquariums, safe to keep with invertebrates or corals.
