Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris)

Ocellaris Clownfish, often referred to as the “Nemo” fish, are one of the most iconic and beginner-friendly species in the saltwater aquarium hobby. With their vibrant orange bodies, bold white bands, and lively personalities, they bring energy and charm to any reef setup. These captive-bred fish are hardy, adaptable, and ideal for aquarists of all experience levels.

Tank Requirements

Ocellaris Clownfish thrive in aquariums of 20 gallons or more, with ample swimming space and live rock for exploring and hiding. They can be kept solo, in bonded pairs, or even in small harems in larger systems. While they don’t require a host anemone, many will readily adopt soft corals or LPS as substitutes.

Captive-Bred and Hardy

Captive-bred Ocellaris are well-suited to aquarium life—more disease-resistant, less aggressive, and easier to feed than their wild counterparts. Their peaceful temperament and adaptability make them perfect residents for both nano reefs and larger community tanks.

Diet and Feeding

Omnivorous by nature, these clownfish readily accept a wide variety of foods. Feed a balanced mix of high-quality pellets or flakes, frozen mysis and brine shrimp, and occasional chopped seafood or algae-based foods. Regular feeding helps maintain their vibrant coloration and overall health.

Tankmates and Behavior

Ocellaris Clownfish are peaceful and reef-safe, making them ideal companions for a variety of fish and invertebrates. While generally non-aggressive, they may show territorial behavior when breeding or defending a host. Compatible with most community reef fish, they add both beauty and animation to any saltwater setup.
