Clownfish are highly active and aggressive. They secure their territories and the anemone of the sea in which they live. Clownfish feed the anemone and algae leftovers from fish. These fish have monogamous variations and are anemones territorial. During mating, men get more aggressive. Male comportements are often altered to draw women: biting, running, fining. They also say a tiny position that has a bad current, whether they reside in the higher tank tiers.
If they are added, they will leave this position close to Anemone as this is where they will find food. Clowns are all-fresh, meaning that they eat meat and vegetables.
According to the National Aquarium, they normally consume algae, zooplankton, worms, and small crustaceans. When they are tiny, the fish prefer to remain inside their anemone host.
If they grow up, they will search for food, but according to the ADW, they will not go far beyond a few meters from the anemone. To survive in their diet clownfish require some live fish food. Live feed is the perfect way to get to know the fresh, smaller surroundings of wild fish, including clownfish. Shrimps like Krill, Mysis, and Brine are the perfect live foods to feed your clownfish. Although they swim in the tentacles of their host anemone for a large part of their lives, clownfish will occasionally feed.
They are plankton pickers so that particular zooplanktons or phytoplanktons swimming in the water column are visually searched for and consumed. You probably will consume algae from the top of the coral. From the above description, till now, you may have an idea of the behavior, water type, and every other important aspect.
Now, to prepare the tank you have to be very careful. All fish deserve a home of good water quality and a good diet regardless of their location.
Both animals are, however, not made to live in one house. Before you bring fish home or even buy your aquarium, study what fish you want in your ideal habitat. A tank with a capacity of at least 30 gallons is required for clownfish. The tank should have plenty of hiding spots to keep the fish safe. This helps them feel safe. The water must stay between 74 to 78 Fahrenheit and have a specific gravity of 1. The water flow in the tank should be moderate. It should provide a bit of a current but nothing overwhelming for the clownfish.
The natural habitat of the fish is around coral reefs. So, it is a good idea to fill the tank with a few rocks. Make sure not to overfill as the clownfish also swim in the wide-open abyss of the ocean.
If you turn the aquarium lights off at night, then the clownfish will go to sleep. The fish either nestles in an anemone, in the crevice of rocks or other hiding places. You may even find the fish lying on the b at night. If you leave the aquarium lights on all night, the fish will probably not sleep. It would eventually become irritated and stressed. Extended periods of light could eventually cause the death of the fish.
The Clownfish can eat most live and frozen fish foods such as krill or brine shrimp. They also like to eat flake food. A variety of items in their diet will make sure that the clownfish gets all of the nutrients that they need to thrive. When feeding, make sure that after a few minutes there is no evidence of food floating in the water. Overfeeding will cause issues with the water parameters spiking, making the water dangerous for the fish.
Feed the clownfish no more than once a day. Every once in a while you can skip one day. Clownfish is quite hardy and can survive without food for a few days, so there is nothing to worry about. They are, however, small in size and could be a target for larger tank-mates. Clownfish also leaves the invertebrates alone.
This also makes them good fish to keep in the reef tanks. Clownfish can thrive in both fish-only and reef setups, though the former is much less of a challenge for beginning saltwater hobbyists.
Their water must stay between 74 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit and have a specific gravity of 1. Clownfish will eat most fish foods. They will even eat flake food, which is unusual for a saltwater fish. However, you need to make certain they get a varied diet. Include live and frozen fish foods, like brine shrimp and krill. Most pet shops carry these types of food. They also need some vegetables in their diet like spinach and nori.
Clownfish also feed off the leftover scraps from dead fish killed by anemones and leftover parts of dead anemone tentacles. So, in essence the anemone serves as a safe home to stay and to get some free food. What more can you ask for? In return for this safe nest the clownfish give nutrition to the anemone through their excrement. This provides the anemone with more algae to eat.
Clownfish also defend the anemone from predators or parasites. To summarize, clownfish live in warm tropical saltwater and among anemones. These always come with easy setup instructions, so you will not have any problem here. Just do not plug them in yet. Substrate is the material used in the bottom of your aquarium tank. This is important because it affects the filtration and chemistry of the water, in turn affecting the health of your clownfish.
Just make sure you rinse everything before you put it in your tank. When you put your water heater in the tank, just make sure it is as close as possible to the water flowing out of the filter if it is non—submersible. A submersible heater should be placed as close as possible to where the water is flowing into the filter. Always check your tank for leaks throughout this process and during the life of your aquarium during this process and always check your measuring tools like your thermometer or hydrometer to ensure the safety of your clownfish.
The thermometer, like all aquarium equipment, comes with easy to follow instructions. Just make sure the thermometer is away from the aquarium heater…. You can use a 5-gallon bucket as long as it is clean. Male sure you use reverse osmosis water you can filter your faucet water or buy some. Put your pump in and start circulating the water.
