The Black Ice Snowflake Clownfish is a cross between a Black Ocellaris and a Snowflake. These beautiful fish were the preliminary results of efforts to produce a Black Ocellaris with Snowflake patterns. This first generation still exhibits the yellow orange coloration of the normal Snowflake - however, it has ultra-intense black markings around the irregular white bars. This member of the Pomacentridae family is an excellent addition to almost any saltwater aquarium system.
Black Ice Snowflake Clownfish does best, housed in an aquarium of at least 75 Liters / 20 gallons or larger with plenty of live rock. It may form a symbiotic relationship with the following species of anemones; Carpet (Stichodactyla sp.), Sebae (Heteractis crispa), Bulb (Entacmaea quadricolor), or Ritteri (Heteractis magnifica). Though the Black Ice Snowflake Clownfish does not require an anemone to thrive, if you choose to house an anemone, always be sure that your aquarium and lighting system will support the needs of the host anemone before incorporating one into the aquarium.
Captive-Bred Clownfish like the Black Strom Clownfish have advantages over wild-harvested species. For one, Captive-Bred Clownfish are very hardy and more accustomed to conditions found in home aquariums. Therefore, the Black Ice Snowflake Clownfish makes a great choice for novices and seasoned aquarists alike. The Black Ice Snowflake Clownfish can be kept with a variety of other captive-bred clownfish, if introduced into the aquarium at the same time.
The Black Ice Snowflake Clownfish, like several other captive-bred clownfish, can be bred in the home aquarium with relative ease and is one of the most common "starter" fish for saltwater breeders. The female will be the larger of the pair, and two fish will usually stay close to each other in the aquarium.
