Clownfish: Basics And Care Guide

The Clownfish was never going to be the same after Pixar got their studio heads around one and made two feature-length films that revolved around one of the cutest fish you’ll ever lay eyes on. Yes, we’re talking about the much-loved Finding Nemo and Finding Dory. Clownfish are adorable, Uber-popular, and actually rather easy to care for beginners keeping a saltwater tank. However, you do need to understand their needs and how to care for them in the best possible way. There are actually over 30 types of Clownfish which are all saltwater dwellers, but this particular species, the Ocellaris Clownfish (also known as the False Percula Clownfish), is the most popular, followed by the Percula Clownfish. These two look very similar and have similar needs, so they are easy to cover together. These fish are native to the Western Pacific Ocean and the Eastern Indian Ocean and are found on coral reefs. They are always found alongside Sea Anemones with whom they have formed a symbiotic relationship, which is the best kind of relationship in the wild. In this video, we go over the basics of Clownfish, including behavior, appearance, tank conditions, and feeding. Check it out, and for more info, head here:
