Interesting Facts about CLOWNFISH
The Scientific name of Clown Anemonefish popularly known as Clownfish is Amphiprion Percula. They are Omnivore and live and average life span of 6 to ten years in the wild.
They usually measure about 4.3 inches which is about the size of a tea cup.
All clownfish are born males. But when a female dies, the most dominant clownfish changes itself into a female!
Clownfish get their names from their bright stripes and bouncing movements, NOT because they go about making other fishes laugh.
There are about 28 known different species of clownfish, which include: Ocellaris Clownfish, Black Ice Ocellaris Clownfish, Maroon clownfish, Picasso clownfish, snowflake clownfish, percula clownfish, tomato clownfish, black clownfish, clarkii clownfish, and a host of others.

Habitat where clownfish lives
Clownfish are found in different reef habitats amongst sea anemones where they live in groups called “school”.
The Percula clownfish usually perform special dance moves with the sea anemone before they are allowed to move in to live within the sea anemone.
This is because the sea anemone has lethal sting that can be fatal to any fish venturing too close. Clownfish on the other hand has a special skin that is immune to the sea anemone’s sting.
They are mostly found in the shallow warmer waters of the Great Barrier Reef, Indian Ocean, Red sea, and western Pacific Ocean.
They are sadly not found in the Mediterranean, Caribbean or the Atlantic Ocean.

Breeding Clownfish
After the movie, Finding Nemo, a movie about the trials, pains and adventure of a captured Clownfish, the demand for Clownfish pet tripled.
Clownfish can survive without the sea anemone, making it easy to breed and keep them in an aquarium.
Taking care of clownfish is relatively easy, as they are omnivore and a diet of marine flake food rich in spirulina algae is readily accepted.
The aquarium should be lit up with a dim lighting which should be turned off at a particular time of night to allow the clownfish sleep, and prevent the spontaneous growth of algae.
