Because they are tank-raised, they readily accept prepared foods and shrug off the stress that bothers wild-caught fish. Give them a stable, established reef or fish-only system of at least 20 gallons with plenty of rockwork to claim as territory. Keep the temperature between 74 and 78°F, pH at 8.1 to 8.4, and salinity at 1.020 to 1.025. Feed a varied omnivore diet of frozen or live mysis and brine shrimp along with quality marine flakes or pellets and some algae-based food, offered two to three times a day in small amounts. They can be kept singly, as a bonded pair, or as a small group started young, and while they do not need an anemone in captivity, they will often host a bubble-tip anemone if one is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:18px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #006064;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:6px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:0.93em;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;width:42%;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eWyoming White Clownfish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAmphiprion ocellaris\u003c\/em\u003e (designer variant)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eCare Level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eBeginner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eTemperament\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003ePeaceful\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eReef Safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eMax Adult Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eAbout 3 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e20 gallons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eOmnivore (meaty \u0026amp; algae-based foods)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eWater Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e74 to 78°F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003epH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e8.1 to 8.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eSalinity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e1.020 to 1.025 SG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eCaptive-bred (tank-raised)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:18px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #006064;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWyoming Whites are social and get along well with other peaceful reef fish, corals, and non-aggressive invertebrates.
