Clownfish

Clownfish, the cute little fish found in Finding Nemo, are also known as anenome fish. 

They got the name clownfish because of the cute little way the wiggle their whole body while they are swimming.

There are many different kinds of clownfish, which have different personalities.  Maroon clownfish and tomato clownfish are more aggressive, while Percula Clownfish and Skunk clownfish are some of the less aggressive varieties.

Of course, as with people, all clownfish don't live up to their reputation. 

There are reports of non aggressive maroon clownfish, just as their are reports of Percula clownfish that are very aggressive.

I have two Percula Clownfish that I just got yesterday!  I ordered them from my local pet store, because the stores that do carry them have had trouble with disease in their tanks, and I didn't want to risk getting a sick fish, or transfering any diseases to my other aquarium fish.

I hope you will join me on my journey as a clownfish owner!
