Hello,

As some of you may be aware we're in the process of doing some major upgrades to Aquaria Central. We are just starting a much overdue update of our species profiles and hopefully they will be more complete and usable after the project is finished.

To those of us that keep s.w. fish this is going to be a rather large challenge as there are far fewer of us than our f.w. compatriots and we have more fish to deal with. Then there is the invert section :thud: as we all know they are pretty common in our tanks ;).

To cut to the chase we really need your help. I thought that it might be fun if folks would pick a fish or critter that they kept or liked and told us as much as they could about it. These will all have to be edited for accuracy and content so please keep that in mind before you post. Please, don't create duplicate threads if you would like to add something to an existing species profile or one we have in process please feel free.

To let you know as of this point there is no eta for this but, the sooner we get started the better off we'll be.

ok who's game?

OK ill do Clown fish:


Common clown(Amphiprion ocellaris)

Origin: Great Barrier reef
Size: 8cm (wild) 5cm (captivity)
Diet:Will eat a mixed diet based on prepared foods. Will also eat Adult Brine Shrimp.
Water:Temp 25-26C, alkaline ph 8.1-8.3,sg 1.020-1.024.
Temperement: Occasionnally territorial

Common clowns can be kept and even be bred in an aquarium without an anemone. However, they will show more of their natural behaviour if they have one. You can get a breeding pair by getting them when they are approximately 13mm you can be sure that they will turn into a breeding pair. All fry are born male! But the dominant male will eventually turn into a female, thus creating a breeding pair.They will choose a site near an anemone (again one is not needed) and clean it. The female will lay up to 300 eggs about 1mm in diameter. The Male will constantly fan the eggs giving them a constant supply of oxygen. The eggs will hatch after 7-10 days, usually at night. The parents will show no further interest in the young fish so should be moved to a seperate rearing tank. The fry should be fed rotifiers, but as they mature they can be fed larger food such as Brine shrimp. The Breeding pair will continue breeding throughout the year every month or so.
