CLOWN FISH





  • Clownfish belong to a group of small,brightly colored fish called damselfish.these inshore reef dwellers have developed a curious and potentially deadly relationship with the sea anemone.


  • Clownfish have lived undisturbed in the coral reefs for thousands of years in saltwater aquariun fish.


  • Clown fish eat the anemone then consumes the fish,and the clownfish feeds on the remains.


  • The group consist of a breeding pair, which cohabit with a few non-reproductive ''prepubescent",and smaller male clownfish.When the female dies ,the dominant male changes sex and become the female.


  • The brilliantly colored clownfish gets its name from its distinctive black and white markings.
