Cinnamon Clownfish – Tankraised – Small
Cinnamon Clowns range in color from bright orange with a black blotch on their side to a dark red color with orange only on their fins and face. All have a white stripe right behind their eye. It is usually best to keep one clownfish per tank, though a pair can sometimes be kept if one is significantly smaller (male) than the former (female). As the fish mature, they may also become aggressive towards new arrivals to the tank, or intrusive hands, so be prepared for aggression to follow even if the new fish is large in size. Clownfish are generally not fussy eaters, and will accept a range of frozen and prepared foods like flakes, pellets, and frozen formulas. They can benefit from some plant matter in their diet, although they are not considered herbivores. Although the interaction between anemones and clownfish is amusing to watch, it is not necessary to the survival of either animal. These clowns may bond with Bubble-tip, Sebae, Carpet, or Long-tentacled Anemones in time.
