Description
Overview:
The Maroon Golden Nugget Clownfish is a bold and breathtaking designer variety, recognized for its solid golden-yellow body and contrasting deep maroon fins. This eye-catching fish brings vibrant color and a commanding presence to any marine aquarium.
Origin:
Captive-bred in aquaculture facilities, the Golden Nugget is a selectively bred form of the Maroon Clownfish. Known for its beauty and resilience, this variant is well-suited to home aquariums and adjusts readily to captive life.
Feeding:
An omnivore with a hearty appetite, the Golden Nugget Clownfish will thrive on a mix of high-quality marine pellets or flakes, along with frozen foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood.
Tank Mates:
Maroon Clownfish are more territorial than other clownfish species, especially as they mature. They are best kept singly or as a bonded pair, and tank mates should be chosen with care. Avoid small, timid fish and opt for species that can hold their own, such as tangs, angelfish, or larger wrasses.
