Clown fish are omnivorous fish; in the wild they eat shrimp, algae, marine worms, and basically anything that is non poisonous to them and can fit in their mouths. In captivity clown fish should be fed a varied diet, that should include a quality flake or pellet food, brine shrimp, and mysis shrimp. You could also feed them spirulina flakes and nori as a supplement to their vegetable needs. My suggestion is to get yourself some New Life Spectrum marine formula. You can buy this from any pet shop available near you.

A clownfish will feed on the leftovers of a fish on the anemone in which it lives; the anemone catches the fish and the clownfish eat the leftovers. Clownfish are immune to the anemones' predatory ways because of a mucus that covers their bodies and protects them from the anemones' stingers.

Plant-based foods on which clownfish feed may include copepods, isopods and zooplankton. The clownfish may also eat molluscs, planktonic crustaceans and algae that inhabit the reef, or eat away at debris, nibbling off the dead tentacles of its host anemone. They are essentially omnivorous and will eat almostly anything edible.

Hmm? Good question. There is so many different clown fish that can regularly be bought in most LFS or orders on the websites it's hard to say how a clown fish may act they all have there own personalty. But it all clown fish have a few things in commen they all seem to make incredable movement meaning that can twist and turn in very intriguing ways its really is cultavtaing. We always want to keep them in a pair the bigger of the two will be the femail and the smaller being the male since they are a-sexual they like two stick together they will always be moveing there dorsals and normaly they hover at the top of the tank for awhile till they establish a home in your tank and settle in there an amazing pair in the reef aqurium and they ate a very hardy fish for beginners but will be highly aggressive towards other clown fish that are not the same breed so you want to have a pair of the same two clown fish

I happen to be an expert on this topic.

Having seen 'Finding Nemo' over 12 times, I consider myself very knowledgable in the lives of clownfish.

Clownfish live in enenimies and their job is to raise their deformed clownfish son and let him go to school where he will most likey be abducted by Australians (a crafty bunch) and then the fish will swim around in it's own filth.

That's basically it.

It is the fish from the movie "Finding Nemo," it's the Orange fish with the white stripes going down the sides of its body. Almost wrapped in white stripes with smaller fins.

clown fish (like any other fish) eat fish food so if you were not going to feed them yourself they would die,m l./
