Clowns

Clowns, also called as Anemonefish, are one of the most popular Reef Compatible pets for Marine Aquariums. Belonging to the Family Pomacentridae, Clowns are small and brightly colored fish that considerably enhance the visual appeal of an aquarium. Fresh Marine, one of the best online markets for aquarium products, offers several interesting species of Clowns. However, prior to moving on to them, let us have a fundamental idea about the key features of Clowns.

Compatibility. Clowns are Reef Compatible and aggressive creatures that can be kept together with the other peaceful aquatic pets. However, do not keep Clowns with Groupers, Sharks, Lionfish, Moray Eels, Rays, Triggerfish, and Certain Wrasses. Clowns are territorial in disposition and are aggressive towards the members of their own species. Therefore, it is better to keep only one adult or a mating pair in a water tank.
  • Habit & Habitat. Clowns are found in the Tropical Salt Waters of the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, as the warm temperature in these regions suits the active temperament of these fishes. Clowns are bottom dwellers, and most notably reside in Inshore Reefs and Lagoons. Clowns have a symbiotic relationship with Sea Anemones, in which Sea Anemones get food from Clowns and in turn Sea Anemones provide shelter to the Clowns. Clowns live in small groups with one Clown per Sea Anemone.
  • Morphology. Clowns are extremely beautiful due to their beautiful body and striking colors such as, Yellow, Orange, Red, and Black, alternated usually with vertical White bands bordered in Black. They are small in size, measuring 4”-7” and are hardy. Males are smaller in size than their female counterparts.
  • Ideal Marine Aquarium Environment. Clowns grow well in an established Reef Type Marine Aquarium. They are not very demanding of the quality of water and can be housed in tanks as small as 20 Gallons. However, they do need Rocks and Cave to hide in for security. Nitrate levels should not be high in the aquarium water.
  • Aquarium Feeding. Clowns are Omnivorous and can feed upon Plankton, Mollusks, Crustacean, Copepods, Mysids, Isopods, Fish Flakes, Fish Pellets, Live Brine Shrimp, and Algae, are good choices for them.
  • Aquarium Breeding. Clowns can breed by themselves after reaching sexual maturity.
  • Care. Clowns are the easiest to maintain and are therefore, best for beginners.
