The Bluestripe Clownfish is a sizable and somewhat uncommon species of clownfish. These fish feature a predominantly dark brown body with striking bluish-white vertical bands and a vibrant orange head. Depending on their location, Bluestripe Clownfish have a yellow tail in Fiji and a white tail near the Marshall Islands.

Reaching up to 6 inches in length, Bluestripe Clownfish require a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. They are semi-aggressive and generally coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates in reef aquariums. However, they may show aggression towards other clownfish in smaller tanks.

These clownfish thrive when paired and often seek an anemone for protection. The anemone offers safety from larger predators, as Bluestripe Clownfish are immune to its sting, unlike larger fish.

As omnivores, Bluestripe Clownfish need a balanced diet of both meaty and plant-based foods. Feeding them mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality flakes, pellets, and frozen foods will ensure their health and vitality. They are enthusiastic eaters and not fussy about their meals.
