Midnight Ocellaris Clownfish

Amphiprion ocellaris

The Midnight Clownfish is a striking and unusual variety of Ocellaris Clownfish, known for its deep, velvety black coloration. Unlike the typical orange and white clownfish, the Midnight Clownfish lacks the traditional white bands, giving it a sleek, all-black appearance that stands out in any reef aquarium.

These clownfish have the same peaceful nature and hardy constitution as other Ocellaris varieties, making them suitable for a wide range of tank setups. Their dramatic dark coloration can create a striking contrast when paired with brightly colored corals or other vibrant tank inhabitants.

Like other clownfish, they can form a symbiotic relationship with anemones but are also happy without one. Being captive-bred, they are well adapted to aquarium life and contribute to more sustainable reef-keeping practices.

The Midnight Clownfish is an elegant, minimalist addition to any marine aquarium, offering a subtle yet captivating presence in a colorful underwater environment.

Temperature Match

Place the sealed bag containing the fish or invertebrate into your tank. Allow it to float for 15-20 minutes to gradually equalize the temperature between the bag and your aquarium. This step minimizes stress caused by sudden temperature changes.

Drip Acclimation

Set up a drip acclimation system by using airline tubing. Start a slow siphon from your tank into the bag or bucket containing the fish or invertebrate, allowing water to drip slowly. Acclimate over a period of approximately 30 minutes, gradually increasing the volume of tank water to match salinity and other water parameters.

Check Salinity

Use a refractometer to measure the salinity in the bag or acclimation container. Ensure the salinity matches your tank’s salinity before transferring the fish or invertebrate. Matching salinity helps reduce stress and prevents shock when introducing new animals.

Release Fish/Invert

Gently transfer the fish or invertebrate into the tank, avoiding netting them if possible to reduce physical stress. Allow the animal to swim out on its own if transferring from a container. Discard the acclimation water, as it may contain contaminants.
