Often incorrectly sold as the Tomato Clownfish, the one identifying difference is the Cinnamon's side becomes increasingly darker with age, sometimes even black. The Cinnamon Clown prefers to associate itself with the Leathery (Heteractis crispa) and Bubbletip (Entacmaea quadricolor) Anemones. Although, it will be fine without them. It may be quarrelsome with other anemonefish in smaller tanks. |

The Cinnamon Clownfish (Amphiprion melanopus) is sometimes called a Red and Black Anemonefish. It belongs to the family named Pomacentridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.0 inches in length, the Cinnamon Clownfish is semi-aggressive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Amphiprion melanopus should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places.
