QM Labs Aquacultures Peacekeeper Maroon Clownfish
First release of in-house-bred Peacekeeper Maroon Clowns now available in limited quantities
LOS ANGELES — October 16th, 2026 — Quality Marine is proud to announce the availability of QM Labs aquacultured Peacekeeper Maroon Clowns (Amphiprion biaculeatus)! These fish have been aquacultured in-house from both wild and aquacultured broodstock. This is the first release of these fish from QM Labs, so quantities in this initial batch are limited, but fear not, more are coming! Only medium specimens are available for sale at this time, and due to the unique markings and patterns of each individual offspring fish, they will be offered initially in the What You See Is Want You Get (WYSIWYG) section, on Quality Marine’s retailer online ordering system.
The young are reared on rotifers, newly hatched artemia, gut loaded artemia, then transitioned onto our Nutramar Marine Complete Pellets diet in our QM Labs facility.
The sheer size difference between A. biaculeatus and other clownfish, along with their brooding maroon coloration, makes them a showpiece fish even before you add the jaw-dropping “Peacekeeper” patterning. As an aside, the Peacekeeper name came about when it was hypothesized that these Maroon Clowns might be more peaceful than their wild-harvested counterparts. That is not yet the case, though we will see what the future holds with regard to changes over generations of captive breeding.
Today, our retail and public aquarium partners can choose from more than 63 new species and varieties aquacultured by our scientists. We offer many of the industry’s best-sellers, such as Storm, Longfin, and Snowflake Clowns, and continue to break new ground with species previously unattainable as aquacultured specimens, such as our Purple Tangs, Black Tangs, and Gem Tangs. This allows us to offer our customers a regular, reliable source for stock that they actually need, that has spent its entire existence under our direct supervision.
We go to great lengths to ensure our aquacultured offerings are reared in a sterile, state-of-the-art facility, tightly controlling their exposure to anything and everything, including all of the different foods we rear here to feed these fish from their earliest larval stages.
If you are interested in having one of the first domestically aquacultured Peacekeeper Clowns in your own aquarium, get to your local fish store immediately and tell them you want a QM Labs Peacekeeper Clown today!
But congrats!
