Gold Flake Maroon Clownfish - Captive Bred

The Gold Flake Maroon is a variation of the Gold Stripe Maroon that have exaggerated barring. Like all Gold Stripe Maroons, the stripes start out white and turn yellow as they mature.

Behavior:
Like all clownfishes, Premnas biaculeatus is a sequential hermaphrodite. The largest individual present will exert dominance and become reproductively female. The next largest fish will become reproductively male. The female will not tolerate other smaller individuals.

Compatibility:
Usually ignores reef invertebrates and corals. Clownfishes sometimes adopt various corals and algae as substitutes for host anemones.

Food:
Proaquatix specimens have been weaned to take aquarium pellets and flakes. Freshly frozen invertebrates such as ocean plankton, Mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and chopped squid will be readily accepted.
