Received the African Clownfish pair in good condition. They are active and colorful, with clear bluish bars and orange fins. Easy to care for and have adapted well to our 55-gallon tank. Only added hardy species after them, which worked out fine.

The fish arrived healthy and look vibrant. They have been in the tank for two months and seem to be adjusting well. I noticed they are slightly more active than other clownfish, but not overly aggressive.
