❤ - Clownfishes get along with gobies, blennies, damsels, and wrasses.

❤- Clown fishes can be aggressive due to their territorial nature. They can get really defensive when it comes to destruction of their home or space.

❤- I plan on buying 2 to keep hostility down, clownfishes work better in pairs due to their natural companionship.

❤ - Other names clownfishes go by are false clown anemonefish, false percula clownfish, common clownfish, and even the character's name, Nemo. Nemo is its most popular nickname

❤- Their scientific name is the Amphiprioninae fish.

description 𓆝 ⋆.

❤- The clown fish is known by its flashy white stripes on its orange body. These fishes originate from the shallow and warm tropics of the Indian ocean and the western pacific ocean.

❤- A clownfishes diet consists of high-quality marine based flake or pellet food, frozen food like mysis shrimp and brine shrimp, and even sometimes seaweed.

❤- Clownfishes live up to 6-10 years in the wild and can live up to 20-30 years in captivity! Unlike other living things were used to, you cannot determine a clownfish's gender by its physical characteristics, as they are protandrous hermaphrodites that are all born male and can change to female. How clownfish's reproduce is by the female fish laying eggs and the male fish fertilizes them, weird right? The male fish gaurds the eggs after her fertilizes them until they hatch, which takes 6-10 days.

❤- Clownfish live in saltwater. They are usually found in warm parts of the ocean, like the Indo-Pacific region. Their environment is connected closely with coral reefs, where they spend most of their time.

❤- Clownfish usually live in shallow coral reefs where they can find sea anemones to protect them. The pH of the water they live in is normally between 7.8 and 8.4, since coral reefs need stable water conditions. They are used to warm water, usually between 75-82°F, so temperature changes can really affect them.

❤- In the wild, clownfish live in open reef areas where they can swim freely, but they also stay close to their host anemones. Even though the ocean is big, clownfish usually stick to a smaller territory around their anemone for protection and food.

❤- I would LOVEEE to add cute little plants and statues like this to my tank. These items would probably be around $20. I plan on getting them at thrift stores and stores like Petco.

❤- YES! i need a hood cover.

❤-A clownfish usually needs at least a 20-gallon tank to be happy and not stressed. They like having enough space to swim around and places to hide, like rocks or coral. If the tank is too small, they can get stressed out and sick, so giving them enough room is really important.

❤- Clownfish get their oxygen from the water, not directly from the air. They use their gills to pull oxygen that’s dissolved in the water. You don’t need to add anything special for them to breathe, but it’s important to have a good filter or air pump to keep the water oxygenated. This helps them stay healthy and not stressed.

❤ - I chose a clownfish because they are really colorful, fun to watch, and not too hard to take care of. I’m adding a 20-gallon tank so they have enough space to swim and hide, which helps them stay happy and healthy. I’m also using a filter and maybe an air pump to keep the water clean and full of oxygen, since clownfish get their air through their gills. I want to make sure the tank has rocks or fake coral so they have places to hide, because clownfish feel safer with shelter. Overall, I’m adding these things to make a safe and comfortable home for my fish.
