The Captive-Bred Gold Nugget Maroon Clownfish is ORA®'s most distinctive clownfish species to present. Its distinctive appearance is caused by genetic mutations that manifest in a manner similar to the mutation that created the Platinum Percula. But, this Premnas designer changes when it matures, and the body's color changes from white to sparkling gold. The Fins of the Gold Nugget are dark maroon in color and accented with fluorescent orange trim. The eyes of the designer clownfish are dark and striking in contrast to the body of gold. Some fish exhibit an iridescence of icy blue along the edges of their bodies. Caution must be taken when pairing, choosing tankmates, or choosing tank size.   Captive-bred clownfish are extremely tough and long-lasting fish. They are an ideal choice for novice or veteran aquarists. This Maroon Clownfish is a good choice for an aquarium with a reef. The Maroon Clownfish is the most aggressive of all species of clownfish. Maroon Clownfish are extremely sensitive to high levels of copper and should not have exposure to copper levels that are close to or over .15.   Captive-bred clownfish are simple to breed in the aquarium of your own home. Females are the largest of the pair and the two fish usually stay close within the aquarium. They are egg-laying fish and deposit their eggs on flat surfaces, and protect the eggs from the tankmates. The eggs usually hatch within 8 to 11 days, based upon the temperatures. The fry should be kept in a separate tank with a diet consisting of Rotifers and then baby brine shrimp.   Gold Nugget Maroon Clownfish diet is comprised of nearly any meaty foods and herbivore-based preparations.   Do not drag your Maroon Clownfish with a net since its cheek spines may get caught. Consider using a specimen tank to capture the fish if it is required.   Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 3/4" to 1-3/4"; Large: 2" to 3"

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
