ORA Veilfin Snow Storm Clownfish Captive Bred

ORA Veilfin Snow Storm Clownfish for Sale

Introducing the all-new ORA Vielfin Snow Storm – a mesmerizing addition to our collection, featuring the cutting-edge ORA Vielfin genetic line with stunning, long-flowing fins. The Vielfin Snow Storm is a remarkable Amphiprion ocellaris that inherits copies of both the Storm and Snowflake pattern genes, creating a one-of-a-kind clownfish with distinct, crisp white coloration and eye-catching features.

First created by crossing a Black Storm male with a female Black Snowflake, the ORA Snow Storm stands apart from other white clownfish varieties. Its unique trait lies in its fins, which are primarily black, with icy blue hues along the edges, giving the fins a frosty appearance that beautifully contrasts with the white body. The facial pigmentation is distinctive as well, with black only on the lips and around the pronounced, deep black eyes, enhancing the striking visual appeal of the Snow Storm.

Adding to its allure, the long, flowing fins of the ORA Vielfin Snow Storm are a true marvel. Thanks to the new Vielfin genetic addition, these clownfish exhibit long fins with more evenly dispersed growth, setting them apart from our typical Longfin strain, which tends to display jagged, uneven fin edges. The result is a smoother, more symmetrical look that enhances the fish’s natural beauty, as the fins flutter gracefully in the water, creating an ethereal and captivating effect.

Because the Snow Storm phenotype occurs in fish that inherit two dominant pattern mutations – specifically the Snowflake and Storm patterns – these fish have the potential to produce Snowflakes, Storms, and Snow Storm offspring. This genetic versatility makes the ORA Vielfin Snow Storm a fascinating and unpredictable addition to your aquarium, ensuring that each generation carries its own unique charm.

Care & Requirements

The ORA Veilfin Snow Storm Clownfish is hardy and thrives in stable saltwater conditions. A single fish can be kept in a 15-gallon tank, while pairs should have at least 30-40 gallons to minimize territorial disputes. They are reef safe and coexist peacefully with corals and invertebrates. These fish do not require anemones for survival but may form a symbiotic bond with species like the Bubble Tip (Entacmaea quadricolor). Maintain proper parameters and feed a balanced omnivorous diet of pellets, flakes, and frozen foods 2–3 times daily.

How often should I feed my Snow Storm Clownfish?
Feed 2–3 small portions daily of quality marine food.

Do they need anemones to survive?
No, anemones are optional and not required for health.

What’s the ideal tank setup?
A reef-safe system with stable temperature and moderate flow is best.

Tank Mates & Compatibility

These clownfish are peaceful and get along well with other reef-safe species, such as gobies, blennies, wrasses, shrimp, and snails. Avoid aggressive tank mates or multiple clownfish pairs in smaller tanks. A bonded pair can coexist comfortably and may even spawn under the right conditions.

Can I keep multiple pairs in one tank?
Only if the aquarium is 50+ gallons with plenty of territory separation.
