So today I picked up a blue damsel and cinnamon clown, as the owner was shutting down tank. I had the option, put the cinnamon in the 600l solo or mix him with my breeding occys in there 150l. After much reading about aggression, I bit the bullet and put him in. I'm quiet amazed how passive the big cinnamon really is, he actually shares an anenome with my male B&W occy. The female occy attacks the
Cinnamon whenever he goes to close to her anenome but so far doesn't seem to care.

I'm hoping I've got an extremely passive cinnamon, but I'll be watching closely.

Does anyone else have any personal experiences they might like to share?

What is a Cinnamon clown? never heard of them.

I had a breeding pair of yellow bar maroons in a 10x2.5x2.5 and I couldn't put my hand in there without getting bitten...

Yeah I had a pair of clowns that were beasts! Bitey little buggers!!

Cinnamon, fire clown, very red and black, similar to a tomato. My partners watching the tank as I'm on call, but apparently the large cinnamon and my male occy are sharing an anenome whilst they sleep. Very cute, and good to see no signs f aggression so far.

Amphiprion Melanopus?

[Clownman]

No idea the latin name, the main characteristic is they lose they're stripe as they mature. Google has a fair bit of info on em.

[Neakit]

it is the species name. If it loses its white stripe as an adult its not a cinnamon clown, it will be Amphiprion ephippium or Red Saddleback clownfish.

[Clownman]

After googling red saddleback that is definitely a red saddleback. Thanks for the I'd. She would be female as its been in a tank with a blue damsel for years. Very docile, she shares the helio with my tiny occy and even let's him stalk her. Sadly enough these two show more pairing behavior then when it was just the two occys"

Not try to be rude, It might be wise to invest in some physical literature cause the internets has been known to carry wrong information.
