This is one clown that typically lives in groups, but if you choose to do so allow enough room and enough anemone to house all comfortably. It usually associates with the Ritteri (Heteractis magnifica) anemone. |

The Maldives Clownfish (Amphirion nigripes) is sometimes called a Blackfinned Anemonefish. It belongs to the family named Pomacentridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 4.0 inches in length, the Maldives Clownfish is semi-aggressive in nature and moderately 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. Amphirion nigripes should not be housed in a tank less than 20 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.
