How fast do ocellaris clowns (Amphiprion ocellaris) grow? I bought a pair of juveniles about 4 months ago and they seem to be the same size as when first purchased. If it is slow, that is fine, i just want to make sure i am feeding them the correct foods.

Oh, and btw, the foods i feed them are frozen mysis, frozen brine, and sometimes bloodworms, all enriched with garlic extract and Selcon.

I have never noticed mine growing, but looking at pics from a year ago, they clearly have, and quite a bit. It does seem sorta slow, so I guess I just never noticed.

it depends i would imagine. Were they really small when you got them? Mine has been about 2.5-3in for a year or more...my percula is about the same. They dont get as large as Clarks or maroons as far as i know.

I feed mine fish mush, mysis, Cyclopeeze, Formula I and II and Red Sea graduals, all soaked in garlic & Zoe Marine vitamins.

i have not been keeping track of the growth of mine, but i would have to say that it is a slower grow growth rate. they seem to be about the same size that they were when i got them, guess i need to go back and look at some pics. it does not seem like a lot of growth because you see them everyday.

I have had my Ocellaris for 20 months. He started out at 1.125", and now he is almost 1.5". I fed him sparingly in my nano, so perhaps he has not thrived as much as he could have. Like you I feed frozen mysis, enriched brine, and bloodworms. I plan to fatten him up a bit in the new tank by adding more variety and increasing frequency...especially as the tank takes on more corals.

Oh okay. So i guess these guys are okay.

Hmm...i wanted to add two comets, but i might have to wait. I am worried the little clowns will just look like snacks!
