The ORA® Captive-Bred Gold Stripe Maroon Clownfish is an ideal fish to add to an aquarium with a reef. Typically, Maroon Clownfish vary in the color spectrum from bright red to dark with three thin white stripes. This ORA broodstock was discovered in the vicinity of Sumatra. The gold-colored stripes usually don't develop until fish are around nine to twelve months of age. ORA fish are delivered around 6-7 months old which means they're showing juvenile white stripes. They will begin to develop the gold color over time beginning with the stripe on their head. The very well-known fish are simple to keep in aquariums. However, they don't like each other. If a hobbyist is not able to get one of them to mate it is advised to one within a tank. There has been a report that the gold stripe variation appears to be less violent than those of the White Striped variety. It is among the most massive species of clownfish. adult females can reach an average size of 6. inches. This is a long-lived species of fish. ORA has seen pairs of them that spawned over 35 years.

General information on the Gold Stripe Maroon It isn't particularly immune to diseases and is among the most aggressive clownfish. As it gets bigger in size, the Wild Gold Stripe Maroon becomes more aggressive and is able to attack everything that gets close to its anemone. It is recommended that you include at least one anemone to your tank. Wild Gold Stripe Maroon should be kept in a medium or large aquarium. If you wish to keep a few of them, an aquarium of a larger size is required. It is safe for reefs and can be found in harmony with other invertebrates as well as corals. It is reef safe and requires no additional equipment. Wild Gold Stripe Maroon also requires live rocks as well as many hiding spots within the tank, so it can feed on the algae that are naturally created in the rocks. It is possible to keep it in a fish-only tank.

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.
