For novices, clownfish are generally the first choice for entry. Clownfish are tropical sea fishes with one or two white stripes on their faces. Their figures are almost all over the Indian Ocean to the Western Pacific. The fresh and lovely image is deeply loved by the majority of aquarists.

To keep clownfish well, you must first understand their living habits. The territorial nature of wild clownfish is particularly strong, and they kill each other for occupation. However, the territorial nature of the artificially raised clownfish is not as strong as that of the wild clownfish, and they play more with each other. But you also need to pay attention to the stocking density when breeding, to avoid clownfish fighting because of their territories.

Clownfish do not have high requirements for food. The food of artificially raised clownfish can be relatively simple, such as pellets, minced shrimp meat or other omnivorous bait. But it should be noted that some natural astaxanthin should be appropriately added to the food in the first two months. Spirulina powder can make the color of the fish more vivid. Because the time for domestication in breeding grounds is relatively short, it would be better if you can add some Artemia worms after you can feed them.

If it is a FOT tank, the simple configuration is sea water tank, hydrometer, sea salt, upper filter, filter bucket or bottom filter. The suitable water temperature for clownfish to survive is 26-27°C, the specific gravity of seawater is 1.022-1.023, the pH value of seawater is between 8.0-8.5, and the water hardness is between 7 degrees and 9 degrees dh.

In addition to maintaining good water quality, there must be a proper flow of water, and then place an anemone or cartilaginous coral that lives with clownfish. Because clownfish and sea anemones coexist and help each other, provide food and obtain protection, carpet anemones or princess anemones are recommended. At the same time, quarantine and quarantine newly purchased clownfish is something that everyone should consider. Spending more time and money on this can prevent many fish from getting sick in the future.
