The Tomato Clownfish is ideally suited for the reef aquarium. It prefers to associate itself with the Leathery (Heteractis crispa) and Bubbletip (Entacmaea quadricolor) Anemones. Although, it will be fine without them. The Tomato Clownfish may be quarrelsome with other anemonefish in smaller tanks. |

The Tomato Clownfish (Amphiprion frenatus) is sometimes called a Tomato Anemonefish, a Fire Clown, or a Bridled Clownfish. It belongs to the family named Pomacentridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 6.0 inches in length, the Tomato Clownfish is generally passive 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 frenatus 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.
