Clownfish
Known as the "Finding Nemo" fish, the Clownfish is bright orange saltwater species native to warm water coral reefs where they live in anemones.
315 Questions
What is the difference between goldfish and clownfish?
There are numerous differences not only in the type, body shape and even colours, but the fact that a goldfish is a freshwater fish, and a clownfish is a saltwater fish.
What makes a clownfish so hard to keep in an aquarium?
Saltwater fish are very hard to keep, and it absolutely takes an established aquarium, and not just a tropical aquarium with salt. You have to have special "live" substrate, preferably "live" rock, and all levels of ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and salinity have to be monitored very closely. A saltwater tank is for advance aquarium keepers, and it consumes a lot of time and takes a lot of work. I am sorry for your loss, but there is a lot of information available on the web on how to keep fish. Try getting him a betta or something. A saltwater fish won't ever survive long without a saltwater tank
Can newborn clownfish fry eat cyclopeeze?
Maybe.
The most popular source for hobbyist answers about clownfish care and breeding is Clownfishes by Joyce D. Wilkerson. She gives an entire chapter to the requirements for culturing live foods, of progressively larger size, to support the fry through the larval through juvenile stages.
When hatched, clownfish larvae are approximately 3 mm in length. For them to feed, they require
* very small animals that fit into their tiny mouths * slowly moving prey that they can detect, track and capture * remain free-swimming (don't sink to the bottom or rise to the surface) * soft and easily digestible * can be easily cultured Wilderson recommends rotifers as the ideal first food for captive rearing of clownfish larvae, to be followed by newly hatched brine shrimp at about day 6 (or slightly later).
She does describe, however, some successes that have been achieved using non-live foods. She doesn't mention Cyclop-eeze* specifically, but does indicate that any substitute foods must be very small (100-200 micron range). Frozen Cyclop-eeze is, however, in the 750-1200 micron range (according to their websites: http://www.freezerbar.com and http://www.cyclop-eeze.com/product_info/12-21.html ). Using their dry "flake" variety would allow you to further grind the food to a smaller size using a mortar and pestle.
Newly hatched clownfish require excellent water quality. One disadvantage of any alternative to live rotifers is an increased need to clean any excess food from the rearing tank before it can decay; uneaten live rotifers will survive in the tank, providing a longer feeding period for the fish.
Tank cleaning, especially in the first few days of life, can be challenging since the fry are so small that any type of siphoning or even a sponge filter can easily "toss the baby with the dirty bathwater" (so to speak). A manual pipette, eye dropper, or small turkey baster will provide a more controllable suction. Tank cleaning is further complicated by the inability of the newly hatched fish to tolerate very strong lighting so even finding the excess food (as well as any non-surviving larvae) may difficult.
* Cyclop-eeze is a trademarked name for a (biologically engineered decapod) aquarium food product from Argent Chemical Laboratories.
It should be noted that Argent has also introduced another dry product called 'AP' (for 'artificial plankton') that is of a more appropriate size (50 - 150 microns). See: http://www.argent-labs.com/argentwebsite/feeds.htm Other manufacturers have also introduced new foods specifically for larval rearing.

Mutually beneficial. It is a type of symbiotic relationship in which both parties benefit.
Is the relationship between a anemone and a clown fish interdependent?
For protection, clownfish seek refuge amongst the tentacles of sea anemones. The tentacles contain harpoon-like stinging capsules called nematocysts that the anemones employ to capture prey and ward off predators.
In a yet-to-be resolved biological mystery, clownfish have mucus on their skin that somehow protects them against the sting of their host anemone. As a result, the clownfish are able to stick near their host which is avoided by most other fish in the sea.
'The clownfish gets protection by hiding sting-free among the tentacles. If you remove the clownfish, large butterfly fishes will eat the anemone,' said John Randall, an ichthyologist at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Butterfly fish are predators of the sea anemone. In certain areas of the tropics where clownfish, sea anemone, and butterfly fish exist, clownfish scare off butterflyfish from their host anemone. Research has shown that if the clownfish are removed from the anemone, butterfly fish will move in and devour the anemone. So, the protection of the anemone afforded by the clownfish is part of the mutual relationship.
In addition to scaring off predators, some scientists speculate that clownfish waste may serve as a nutrient for the anemones…
There are more than 1,000 species of sea anemones found throughout the world's oceans. Only ten of these species share their niche with clownfish, which thrive in the tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Each individual host anemone is home to one group of clownfish, which contain a dominant breeding pair and up to four smaller, subordinate fish. There are 28 known species of clownfish, so more than one species of clownfish may take to any given species of anemone.
Can you put a pair of ocellaris clownfish in a 10 gallon tank?
you can, but its risky. i dont recomend it. maybe try one and see how it does before you put both in
Clownfish are omnivores, so in the wild they eat live food such as algae, plankton, mollusks, and crustacea
How many different types of alternator are there for a 1998 fore contour?
type 1: single phase tree phase poly phase type 2: rotating armature rotating field type 3: salient pole machine non salient pole machine type 1: single phase tree phase poly phase type 2: rotating armature rotating field type 3: salient pole machine non salient pole machine
The disadvantages of the symbiotic relationship between a clownfish and a sea anemone?
There are no disadvantages, but the only thing is that the sea anemone might make the clown fish get stuck in its grass-like things
Do Clownfish live in the Pacific ocean?
yes they do. Clown fish are mostly found in the tropical pacific parts. I hope this helps you with your project or paper :)
What is the relationship between a clownfish and sea anenome?
Commensalism because the clownfish uses the sea anenome (which is un-affected) to lay their eggs in and to live in.
What are the habitat of saddleback clownfish?
In coral reefs but more specifically in sea anenomes in the Indian and pacific ocean
How long does it take for tank-raised adult clownfish to start to breed?
There is no definite answer, the tank conditions have to be just right. The fish also has to feel safe, secure.... but there is no promise they will breed.... most of the saltwater breeder fish are kept in their own tank just the pair....
What is the relationship between certain small tropical fishes and sea anemones an example of?
It's a Symbiotic relationship

Is the clownfish the only fish that lives in an anemone?
A clownfish is also known scientifically as a Clown Anemonefish; it is not the only anemonefish though as there are actually 28 known species, most of which live in shallow waters of the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, and the western Pacific
How many leds and watts to replace a 250 watt metal halide?
It depends.
The Wattage ratings do not indicate how bright any type of bulb is, just what its power consumption is.
In general LED lamps put out more light for the power used than metal halide bulbs, but there is no standard as to how much more. Most lamps indicate their candlepower or 'candela' ratings on the package, and the vary by type of bulb and manufacturer.
The 'candela' is the SI base unit of luminous intensity.
How many different types of microphones are there?
There are three main types of microphone types but in all there have been about 28 diffrent microphones invented
Are clownfish sexual or asexual?
asexual
^ ^ The above answer is simply not true. Allow me to explain.
First off we would have to define asexual. What does it mean? Find the definition for yourself here http://www.thefreedictionary.com/asexual so you know I'm not making things up. This dictionary states that asexual means the absence of sex or having no definitive gender to distinguish the male from female. This is not true in the case of clown fish. Please read http://curiosity.discovery.com/question/why-clownfish-changes-sex
The short answer is all clown fish are born male or having a definitive gender of being male. However Clown fish can change their sex to suit their environment such as becoming female when the reproducing female is taken out of the anemone to assure the survival of their species I hope I answered your question.
Furthermore things that are asexual include earthworms, plants, trees, fungi, single cell organisms. Things like that
