The natural form of Amphiprion ocellaris is found across the eastern Indian Ocean and western Pacific, including areas around the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands and north-western Australia. In the wild, Ocellaris Clownfish live on shallow coral reefs and calm lagoons, usually close to host anemones and protective reef structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Parameters:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTemperature: 24–27°C\u003cbr\u003epH Range: 8.1–8.4\u003cbr\u003eHardness or Salinity: SG 1.020–1.025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenerally peaceful, but can become territorial once settled, especially when kept as a bonded pair or when defending a chosen area of the aquarium.

Picasso Storm Longfin Clownfish are usually easy to feed and will accept a wide range of prepared marine foods. Offer a varied diet including quality marine pellets, flakes, frozen mysis shrimp, enriched brineshrimp, copepod-based foods, finely chopped seafood and occasional algae-based foods. A varied diet will help maintain colour, body condition and natural activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA practical minimum of around 75 litres is recommended for a single fish or bonded pair, with larger aquariums preferred for mixed reef communities or systems with more active tank mates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBehaviour \u0026amp; Activity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn active, interactive and confident clownfish that will usually choose a favourite area of the aquarium and spend much of its time close to that territory. It may host an anemone, but this is not required, and many captive-bred clownfish will instead adopt a coral, rock structure, corner or other sheltered area. The longfin trait gives this fish a more graceful swimming style, so excessively harsh direct flow should be avoided. Like other clownfish, they form a size-based pair structure, with the larger individual becoming female. A secure lid is recommended, as startled marine fish can jump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eReef Safe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePicasso Storm Longfin Clownfish are considered reef safe and do not normally nip corals or clam mantles. They are suitable for reef aquariums, fish-only systems and mixed marine displays. If they choose to host certain corals, they may occasionally irritate them through constant rubbing, but this is behaviour-related rather than feeding damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Requirements or Care Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest kept singly or as a bonded pair. Captive-bred specimens are usually hardy, well adapted to aquarium life and quick to accept prepared foods. Because of the extended fins, avoid aggressive fin-nipping tank mates and monitor fin condition carefully. An anemone is not essential and should only be added to mature aquariums with suitable lighting, flow and stable water quality. Provide clean, stable marine water, good oxygenation and enough shelter within the aquascape for the fish to establish a secure territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginner to Intermediate fishkeepers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigner captive-bred longfin morph \/ Availability can vary depending on pattern, fin development, size and supplier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll images are a visual representation of the fish you will receive, made to be as accurate as possible.
