Description
There is no band on the base of the large lyre tail. They grow to a maximum size of around 4 inches. A. bicinctus will become territorial as they mature so more than 2 fish per tank is not recommended.
They have a very attractive swimming pattern that makes them look as if they were “bobbing up and down” continuously. This feature has won them a spot among hobbyists of all levels as one of their favorite clownfish.
The Two-Band Clownfish is found in the Red Sea and is rarely seen in the aquarium trade. These fish can live for more than 20 years in captivity.
