Frostbite Clownfish (Captive-Bred)

Frostbites have some beautiful and distinct features. Typically these fish will have a dark black trim around vibrant orange faces and tails. As they mature, they develop a frosty blue hue around the borders of their white flanks. A widely variable feature of our Frostbites is the number of spots or “buckshot”, some fish may have several while others may have none.

The Captive-Bred Clownfish has a unique advantage over wild-harvested species. For one, the Captive-Bred Clownfish is very hardy and more accustomed to conditions found in home aquariums. Therefore, it makes an excellent choice for novices and seasoned aquarists alike.

The Captive-Bred Clownfish is also easy to breed in the home aquarium. The females will be the largest of the pair and the two fish will usually stay close to each other in the aquarium. The Captive-Bred Clownfish is an egg layer and will deposit the eggs on a flat surface and defend the eggs from other tankmates. The eggs will normally hatch in 6-11 days depending on the water temperature. The fry must be reared in a separate aquarium on a diet of rotifers followed by baby brine shrimp.
