This Tomato Clownfish has a wider area of distribution than those of the Fire Clown, which is typically restricted to Indo-Pacific reefs. It is also believed to utilize coral to host in absence of an Anemone. Captive-Bred Tomato clowns tend to be darker in color than their wild counterparts. However, as the fish matures it will change to the lovely red/orange shade. Juveniles are spotted with white bands, as well as black pectoral fins that slowly disappear as they grow older. It is possible to reach 5" in length however, it typically reaches the max size of 3.5 inches inside an aquarium. The Tomato Clownfish that is Captive-Bred has an advantage in comparison to wild harvested species. The captive-bred clownfish are extremely durable and more used to the conditions in home aquariums. Thus, they are the perfect choice for newbies as well as experienced aquarists. The captive-bred clownfish may also be kept alongside a variety of other species of captive-bred clownfish in the event that they are brought into the aquarium simultaneously. Captive-bred clownfish can be easily bred in your home aquarium. Females are the largest of the pair and two fish usually remain close to one another within the aquarium.

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.
