The pellets are avalable in extra small, small, medium and large sizes which are perfect for different stages of clownfish development.
Maintaining stable water parameters and offering an anemone for the clownfish to host is ideal for creating a suitable habitat for these clownfish. With proper care and attention, they can thrive in a variety of tank setups, from community tanks to reef aquariums.
