two-banded clownfish

[teog]

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has any expeirence with this clownfish, Amphiprion Bicinctus. I picked up a trio the other day at my LFS since I have never seen them before in person. They came in from ORA.

I have had clown fish in the past and currently keep a spawning pair of black percs in a 30g RBTA tank. Ive had this pair for over 2 yrs now.

Thanks,
Teo

No special requirements, just do as you did with the Black o's.

Those used to be my favorite clowns. I had a solid gold/yellow one with pure white stripes a few years ago. I still miss him.

I have two pairs of Bicinctus and a pair that is one Bicinctus (male) and one Blue Striped hybrid (female) - the mixed pair is the funniest to watch - the male is constantly pestering the female. For me, the worse part with Bicinctus clowns is the shipping so you have completely avoided that part. You will find that they will host in almost anything. The mixed pair hosts in sebaes and the other pair is actually using some toadstools as their home. The final pair is hosting in an RBTA. Enjoy!!
