Select Variant
The Captive-Bred Longfin Black Ice Clownfish is a relatively new species of clownfish that was developed through selective breeding. Apart from the lengthy flowing fins, they feature an orange base coloration featuring three stripes that are edged in black, and the middle stripe exhibiting an irregular shape. The Captive-Bred Longfin's Black Ice Snowflake Clownfish shows more intense, dark coloration of the body than Black Ice Ocellaris. This species of the Pomacentridae family is a great option for almost every saltwater aquarium.
The captive-bred fish have a unique benefit over species that are wild harvested since they're extremely hardy and more used to the conditions in home aquariums. Thus, they are an excellent choice for beginners and experienced aquarists.
The Captive-Bred Longfin Black Ice is very easy to breed in your aquarium at home. Females are the largest of the two as the pair typically stay close to one another in the tank. Clownfish lay eggs and deposit them on flat surfaces and guard eggs against tankmates. The eggs usually hatch within 8 to 11 days, based on the temperature of the water. The fry should be raised in a separate tank eating Rotifers, followed by baby brine shrimp.
This Clownfish is a ferocious eater. It is tolerant of meaty food items and frozen herbivore dishes.
