10 Little Known Facts About Clownfish

Little Known Facts 10 About Clownfish Made famous by the Disney movie, Finding Nemo, the clownfish is easily one of the most recognisable fish in the world. Here are some facts that you might not know about, Nemo: All Clownfish begin life as males; if the dominant female 1) of the group dies then one of the males will develop into a female. Despite their 'clown' name and image the clown fish is an aggressive fish and very territorial. Clownfish live in small groups among sea anemones. 3 Anemones are flesh-eating animals that look like plants. Clownfish and certain damselfish are among the few 4 species of fish that can avoid the potent poison of a sea anemone. 5) Clown Fish are poor swimmers and never venture far from their host anemone! Clown fish wait for the sea anemone to paralyse its prey 6. and then eat what the sea anemone leaves behind. One species of the clownfish, called the percula clownfish, dances when it comes into contact with the anemones for the first time! Interestingly, the female will lay their hatch only on a full moon and they hatch only after dusk! They can lie around thousand eggs at one time, and unlike other fish, out of the thousand eggs, all can survive. Once the female lays her eggs, the male clown fish will 10 protect them until they hatch. If you're planning to keep clownfish as a pet, please always ensure that you're well equipped in knowledge and know how in proper fish keeping.
