Clownfish ( Amphiprion)
Usually they are a very
peaceful marine fish. Avoid
mixing the various clown
species though. If you have a
mix of different clown species
in your tank, they will fight.
If you have a host anemone in
the aquarium with them, they
will defend it. It usually
works out best if you have
only one or a pair of clowns
in your tank. All are males
when they are born. As they
mature and start to pair off
the dominant one will change
into a female. The female is
usually larger than the male
and will be the primary
defender of their
territory.They have been bred
in captivity and it is usually
better to buy a tank raised
fish because they will adapt
better in the home aquarium.
