The Pink Skunk Clownfish (and the other skunk clowns) have a distinguished look from all the other clownfishes. Can you guess why they are called "skunk" clownfish?
This is one of the smaller clownfish with a general pinkish coloration and a white "skunk" line extending down it's back. The Pink Skunk Clownfish is a hardy little fish. It is inexpensive and readily available!

Pink Skunk Clownfish Report Broken Video Spawning Pink Skunk Clownfish (Amphiprion perideraion), having a go at parenthood! Two mature Pink Skunk Clownfish are having a go at parenthood! While clownfish generally will spawn in captivity, it takes specialized efforts to bring them to a viable selling age. The eggs will disappear in a few days, and if ever any did hatch, sadly power heads will provide a quick end to their larval stage. Pink Skunk Clownfish are probably one of the most mellow of the clowns and can be kept in the same tank as a Percula Clownfish as long as there is at least 2 feet between host anemones. |
