Clown Fish Clownfish
"Clownfish and anemonefish are fishes from the subfamily Amphiprioninae in the family Pomacentridae. About twenty eight
species are recognized, of which one is in the genus Premnas, while the remaining are in the genus Amphiprion. In the wild they
all form symbiotic relationships with sea anemones. Clownfish are overall yellow, orange, reddish or blackish, and many show white
bars or patches. The largest species reach a length of 18 cm (7 in), while the smallest barely reach 10 cm (4 in).
Clownfish are a popular fishes for the reef aquarium. Clownfish are now tank-bred to lower the number taken
from the wild. Compared to wild-caught clownfish, tank-bred clownfish are more disease resistant and also less affected by stress
when introduced to the aquarium.
When a sea anemone is not available in an aquarium, they may settle in some varieties of soft corals, or large polyp stony corals. If
the fish settles in a coral, it could agitate the fish's skin, and, in some cases, may kill the coral. Once an anemone or coral has been
adopted, the clownfish will defend it. As there is less pressure to forage for food in an aquarium, it is common for clownfish to remain
within 2-4 inches of their host for an entire lifetime.
Clownfish that are far removed from their parents through captive breeding may not have the same instinctual behavior to live in an
anemone. They may actually have to be coaxed into finding the anemone by the home aquarist. Even then, there is no guarantee
that the anemone will host the clownfish.
Clownfish live in small groups inhabiting a single anemone. The group consist of a breeding pair, which cohabit with a few
non-reproductive, "pre-pubescent", and smaller male clownfish. When the female dies, the dominant male changes sex
and becomes the female. This life history strategy is known as sequential hermaphroditism. Because clownfish are all born as males,
they are protandrous hermaphrodites (pro=first; androus=male). This is in contrast with another form of hermaphroditism, known as
protogyny, in which all fish are born as females but can change to males later.
Clownfish lay eggs on any flat surface close to their host anemones. In the wild, clownfish spawn around the time of the full moon
and the male parent guards them until they hatch about 6 to 10 days later, typically 2 hours after dusk. Clownfish are omnivorous:
in the wild they eat live food such as algae, plankton, molluscs and crustacea; in captivity they can survive on live food, fish
flakes and fish pellets. They feed mostly on copepods and mysids, and undigested food from their host anemones."
