Captive breeding / propagation

Amphiprion clarkii is easy to breed. There are offspring in the trade available. If you are interested in Amphiprion clarkii, please contact us at Your dealer for a progeny instead of a wildcat. You help to protect the natural stocks.

Info

Amphiprion clarkii, Bennett, 1830

Alongside the species Amphiprion ocellaris, A. frenatus and Amphiprion percula, this is the species most commonly found in the trade. In the normal color form shown here and in a melanistic (black) color form.

Here, too, you should only use captive-bred specimens. They are simply more stable and thus support the further breeding of the animal, and as breeding is possible, it is of course advisable to keep them as a pair and not individually.

Amphiprion clarkii can live up to 11 years.

Associated with Cryptodendrum adhaesivum, Entacmaea quadricolor, Heteractis aurora, Radianthus crispa, Radianthus magnifica, Radianthus malu, Macrodactyla doreensis, Stichodactyla gigantea, Stichodactyla haddoni and Stichodactyla mertensii.

According to fishbase, the Clarks sea anemonefish can live to be 11 years old.

Habe diese Tiere seit 1 Jahr, unwissend hatte ich zeitgleich zwei Amphiprion ocellaris eingesetzt. Als Jungtiere hat alle gut geklappt, nach etwa 6 Monaten haben die Clarkis angefangen meine ocellaris zu verdrängen. Nach weiteren 2 Monaten wurden sie aggressiv, und waren die Ocellaris am zerfetzen. Ich habe die A.ocellaris schwer verletzt in ein 2.Becken umgesetzt(sie haben sich erholt). Ansonsten verhalten sich die Clarkiis sehr friedlich gegenüber anderen Fischen. Ein sehr schöner und interessanter Fisch. Allerdings absolut nicht kompatibel mit anderen Anemonenfischen. Zur Zeit sind sie in der Brunft, da werden andere Fische vertrieben, ohne diese anzugreifen. Mein Becken hat 450L.

Worauf beruht die Annahme, dass es sich bei dem auf dem Titelbild gezeigten Tier, nicht um Amphyprion clarkii handelt!? Bei den Juvenilen, weißt das linke Tier tatsächlich eine fehlerhafte Zeichnung auf, dürfte aber trotzdem Amphyprion clarkii sein, diese Zeichnung weist sonst nur Amphiprion chagosensis auf, der aber auf Grund des Aufnahmeorts, auszuschließen ist.

Weder das Titelbild und erst recht nicht das Juvenil Foto zeigen Amphyprion clarkii. Nur mal so zur Anmerkung
