Clown fish are not the only hermaphroditic animals, but they are one of the few species in which males can become clownfish females, but females cannot. Each clownfish population has a dominant female and several adult males, the latter being hermaphrodites in adolescence, and if the dominant female dies, one of the adult males will undergo hormonal changes to transform into the males in the population. New females, during the spawning period, male and female fish have the behavior of guarding their nests and eggs. Because they have one or two white stripes on their faces, they look like harlequins in Peking Opera, so they are commonly called clown fish. Fish are not ugly either.

To raise clownfish well, you must first understand their living habits. The territoriality of wild clownfish is particularly strong, and they kill each other for the occupied area, while the territoriality of artificially raised clownfish is not as strong as that of wild clownfish, and they play more with each other. However, it is also necessary to pay attention to the stocking density when breeding to avoid the clownfish fighting because of the territory.

The artificial clownfish were raised in the bare tank when they first came out of the breeding farm. They were fed with rotifers for the first few days, and then with Artemia, about a month and a half, when the artificial clownfish grew to 1.5cm When the above and start sleeping at the bottom of the tank, domestication begins. The domesticated food is pellets, minced shrimp and spirulina. The fish can be sold when they hear the sound of water in about ten to fifteen days.

The food of clownfish is relatively simple, pellets, minced shrimp meat or other omnivorous bait can be used, but some natural astaxanthin should be added to the food for the first two months. Spirulina powder can make the fish. The color is more vivid, because the breeding farm has a relatively short domestication time. It is better to add some Artemia after feeding.

Feeding clownfish requires regular and quantitative feeding every day, and needs to be replaced with new water regularly. When changing the water, the new water should be injected slowly, not directly to the surface of the fish to avoid harming the clownfish.

Precautions

1. When raising a bare tank, the water flow at night should be smaller, and the fish should lie on the bottom of the tank to sleep at night. Fatigue of fish affects fish growth.

Second, the light must be sufficient before the fish grow into adults. During this period, the fish grow very fast. If the light is insufficient, the color and growth of the fish will be affected.
