Bring bold color and personality to your saltwater aquarium with this captive-bred ORA Tomato Clownfish Pair. Tomato Clownfish are recognized by their vivid cherry-red to orange coloration and distinctive white head band.

This listing includes two Tomato Clownfish selected by ORA with a noticeable size difference to help establish the natural dominance hierarchy of a clownfish pair. Purchasing an ORA-selected pair reduces the risk associated with placing two randomly selected Tomato Clownfish together.

Hardy and adaptable, Tomato Clownfish are suitable for newer marine aquarists, although their territorial behavior should be considered when choosing tankmates.

Pairing Notice

This is an ORA-selected pair, not a guaranteed bonded or mated pair.

ORA selects fish of different sizes with similar coloration and observes them together before shipping. The size difference helps establish a dominant female and subordinate male while reducing the aggression that can occur when two random Tomato Clownfish are introduced.

Diet and Feeding

Tomato Clownfish are omnivores and readily accept a varied marine diet consisting of:

• High-quality marine pellets

• Marine flakes

• Frozen mysis shrimp

• Enriched brine shrimp

• Finely chopped marine foods

• Algae-based marine foods

Feed small portions two or three times daily. Provide only what the fish can consume within a few minutes.

Compatibility

Tomato Clownfish can become increasingly territorial as they mature, especially after establishing a territory or hosting an anemone. They are best housed with appropriately sized peaceful-to-semi-aggressive marine fish that can tolerate their confident personality.

Avoid keeping this pair with another clownfish pair or mixing them with different clownfish species in the same aquarium.

An anemone is not required. If a suitable host is desired, the Bubble Tip Anemone is a popular choice. Anemones should only be added to mature aquariums with suitable lighting and stable water conditions.

Important Purchase Information
