ORA® Captive-Bred Double Dot Domino Clownfish

This ORA® Captive-Bred Double Dot Domino Clownfish is one of the most precious and unique variations from the Ocellaris Clownfish originating from the Midnight Clownfish (a nearly black natural mutation that was discovered in ORAs grow-out systems). Its offspring Midnight Clownfish typically range from entirely stripeless to distinctively designed Extreme Misbars. Sometimes ORA found Midnight Clownfish offspring with white dots. Thanks to the efforts by Julian Sprung, these fish were called Dominos. The white dot could be located on the cheeks or on another body part. The ORA Double Dot Domino Clownfish like its name suggests has two dots. Captive-Bred clownfish have a unique advantage over species that are wild-harvested. Captive-Bred Clownfish are very robust and are more accustomed to the conditions that are common in home aquariums. Thus, they are the perfect choice for newbies as well as experienced aquarists. The ORA® Double Dot Captive-Bred Domino Clownfish is also simple to breed in your aquarium at home. Females are the largest of the pair. The two species typically stay close to one to each other in the aquarium. Clownfish are egg-laying fish that lay eggs on flat surfaces and guard them against tankmates. The eggs are usually born between 8 and 11 days, depending on the temperature of the water. The fry need to be raised in a separate tank with a diet consisting of rotifers then followed by the baby brine shrimp. A diet for the ORA Double Dot Domino Clownfish is comprised of meaty food items and herbivore-based preparations. Approximate Purchase Size: 3/4" to 1-1/4"
