Cinnamon Clown

Description

Amphiprion melanopus

 

Black Fin Clown (Amphiprion melanopus). This is a very robust fish suitable for both invert and fish aquariums. As juveniles, these fish exhibit extra stripes that fade and disappear during maturity. Clownfishes have everything going for them as aquarium specimens. They’re hardy, behaviourally interesting, colorful, do well on all types of foods, & if you start with healthy specimens and meet their habitat requirements, they’re human-responsive and long-lived.
