Do it need oxygen
If this was a fresh water fish , it would be the highest selling aquarium fish in the world
Yea even more than the goldfish or betta.
Truth
@CHEFF pool 100%
The closest looking fish is probably the bumblebee goby, much smaller and fresh water
Probably not. Clownfish are mostly as popular as they are because of Finding Nemo. If they were freshwater fish then the film wouldn’t work with Clownfish as it is set in the ocean. They would likely still be up there as one of the highest selling fish for they are easy to care for and are very pretty, but calling them the absolute highest selling fish is a big optimistic.
I would love to keep a clownfish or 2 trying to learn everything I know until I feel ready it would be my first saltwater aquarium I’ve only ever had fresh 🥰
Very informative video!! Thank you
Ty for this i been looking for a clown fish!
Very nice, you have removed some of my fear of marine!
That's brilliant, it's not that hard really
Dang not only did they make the fish from finding Nemo, we can keep them as pets!
You do know they were able to be kept as pets wayyyyy before the movie right?
They didn’t make fish from the movie, they already existed.

Thank you - very interesting
Nemo!!!!🥺🥺🥺😍😍
Excellent. Will you make a video on Pacific blue tangs too?
I may do a video about tangs at some point
Thanks for the info very informative
Your welcome
I had bad luck with clowns up until recently. I'm trying to see if I can get a blood orange to breed with a fire clown and get a 3 species hybrid!
Ooh exciting
Good luck!
Thanks for the video,lots of useful information 🙏🏽
My pleasure!
Hi can i use seawater from the ocean and put in my tank or do i have to let it go through a process of some kind
Many people do use seawater they collect. Just watch out for any pollution in the area
I live in tampa Florida and I’ve used saltwater from the sea near Clearwater and I didn’t have to cycle bc I used the sand and live rock there in the area I just needed to wait about a week for water to clear out so it wasn’t hazy and did test to make sure ammonia wasn’t high along with everything else but the thing is if you use the natural sea water you can ONLY use the natural sea water when doing water changes bc if you use a fish store water it’ll mess up your salinity in the tank and stress your tank out, also since I’m here in Florida and I’m on the golf the water I had wasn’t really able to hold much coral other than the “ugly” corals and tangs didn’t survive I had to switch em over to another tang bc it was too much for them
amazing....
they are an awesome little fish. I have a maroon clown
I have a 16 inch long 8inch large 11inch up tank (not sure how much gallon it is) is that good for 1 (or more ) clowns? If no what kind of other fish i could get?
Kinda like keeping reptiles 🐍 in respect to the correct tank, substrate, temps, etc
Hello, have you clownfish ever given birth and if yes how do you manage the eggs for them to have a high surivial rate i heard some fish eat there eggs
Hey I am wanting to set up a tank with 2 clown fish and 2 or 3 corals. I have a HOB filter and a small canister filter wich one do I use and what other stuff will I need it’s a 37 gallon
External canister would be better and a decent coral spectrum light would be needed
Can I mix my 3 young mocha clownfish with a few young perculas or ocelarius?
question, how much of a cube of frozen food would you feed to two clowns per day?
1/4 - 1/2
Any advice on clowns hosting? I want to get hammers, frog spawns and other corals but I heard that clowns run up on them too much and kill the corals. And I don’t want just one anemone so I’m kinda in a pickle
Why not have an anemone and corals
Question: Since the biggest clownfish is the one protecting everyone, does this mean the little ones are safe from being eaten by the bigger ones? Or do they eat their kind? Thanks for answering.
Nobody answered you though so who are you thanking? Lol
@@rainbowstarmced191 He's just being polite dude.
Is a ten us gallon tank good for 1 clownfish?
Have you got any video on betas?
No sorry
Hi! I was wondering if I could keep just one clownfish alone another type of fish is that possible?
Yes
I am new to sea fish nemo, blue tang or sea horses or some others. Can anyone tell me which starter kit I need?
Read and watch A LOT or videos. It’s an amazing hobby but not the easiest one. Join us
Can clownfish survived eve without air pump or oxygen?
With what that you are feeding the clownfishes?
- Isabel
Mysis, brine shrimp and marine flakes
I really want to get a clown fish tank with 2 clown fish and 1 or 2 other easy and low litre requiring tank mates I can provide upto 200l total is this possible or will I need to settle for just 2 clown fish
Should be fine to add some other fish in 200l like firefish, gobies, blennies, damsel or similar small fish there's lots of choice
@@EverydayAquarist thank you
hello. i went to a vet office and they had a massive saltwater tank with a giant clownfish that was maroon with white spots. do all clownfish get big? or is it like a different breed?
Generally maroon clown fish kinda become big compared to the common clowns….and the most aggresive too…
Different species. Ocellaris clowns are smaller then maroon clowns, but still can get to be 4 inches long in large enough spaces. The spots you mentioned sound like it could be a lighting maroon, a very beautiful kind of maroon clownfish.
My clownfish use the waiving hand anthelia as an anemone 😂 and spend the night hiding inside of the coral
What is that big plant/coral in the tank?
Heliofungia
I love this fish but always had Fresh water aquarium fish. I'm too scared to start à sea aquarium cause of all the bad stories. From being difficult to very expensive.
i’m asking many people who have experience and i’m doing my own research as well before i eventually get clownfish but i have a question! would it be ok to have two males (if it’s possible/will one turn female during adulthood?) and if not, will a male and female pair breed because i’m not looking for that at all. thank you :)
if you get two males one will become a female over time
Wrong park,go elsewhere
Could I just use like freshwater fish Accessories for the stuff in the tank and they be fine or fake coral
Yes you can
Also could I just have one by itself or no
will they live even without oxygen?
How much gallons for one clown
hey what kind of aquarium should i get ?
For a pair you need around 90+ litres
What are you feeding the clownfish?
Brine shrimp, Mysis and also marine flakes\pellets
Would 60l still be appropriate for a pair or is it just too small?
To small for long term
How many gallons is that?
@@nerad1994 15 gal
can i keep different colors together ??
Yes as long as they are the same species
@@EverydayAquarist wow first heart I ever got xd !!! Thanks both for the advice and the heart 😂
Could I pair a new clownfish with an established clownfish? I have a single clownfish in my tank and I want to buy her a partner but Im not sure if I could even pair her with another clownfish. Do I just get one clownfish or several so she can pick her mate from the bunch? I dont mind the many clownfish but I just want her to have a partner.
So clownfish can decide weather they want to be male or female when they grow up very informative
Just like humans... Oop.
Lmao
Cause they are fish without private parts
@@Candlelight10 they do have different parts
we want to fix motor for nemo fish
i recently found mine, but i used to think taking it back to the ocean so they can live their freely

Hi, I plan on getting clownfish but I’ve been told that I need a special saltwater tank, is this true or can I just put salt water in a normal tank
If its just clownfish then any tank will do so long as its filtered and has properly prepared salt water (not table salt). If you want corals things get more complex
@@EverydayAquarist thanks! You’ve definitely earned a subscription from me!
@@EverydayAquarist hi just one more thing, by just clownfish do you mean that I can’t have any other fish?
Marine fish need large tanks compared to freshwater and are not always compatible with each other. Best do some research before buying
How about water from the sea is that okay to put in an aquarium?
No, you want to either buy water from your local fish store or you can mix your own. I personally buy mine from my fish store but mixing you own is also good
Yes it is okay to use.
where can i find clown fish?
Wiill you buy dori soon?
They don’t get along
@@smokingjoint4661 dude there are HUNDREDS of videos of saltwater tanks with both clownfish and blue tangs... dont say bullshit, maybe quit toking too much?
26 degrees Celsius is 78.8 degrees fahrenheit for everyone who had to also look it up I did this.
Make sure you have a sea anemone for the clownfish
they don’t actually need an anemone
Did anyone notice one one the clownfish was like the speakers voice
darn i really want these but after some research i realized the saltwater section of this hobby is wayy too expensive for my budget right now so i think i'll just wait until i get a job or something
What makes it so expensive?
@@Parker_Vanslyke the salt,fish,rocks,corals
Is it normal for clownfish to close and open their mouth continuously?
yes
@@EverydayAquarist Ah, ok. Glad to know. I worried that there may be lack of oxygen in the tank even though there's enough aeration and water ripple on the surface. And they are active and likes to be fed a lot.
Can I buy clown fish for fresh water? Means Does clown fish live in fresh water or not? And Can we convert clown fish into fresh water from salt water??
No
Is it ok to keep a single clownfish in a 10 gallon tank?
It’s actually a lot easier to keep them in bigger tanks
salt woh-ta
lmao they made the language and you mock them for it XD
To avoid getting the right salinity simply buy prepared saltwater or get ocean water
Hi I just want to ask if it's safe for my clownfish if I release them in the wild?
Absolutely not
@@EverydayAquarist why not I live in pacific
@@user-qk1hf8cx4c 25 celsius water temperature
so having clown fish doesnt really require anemone right?
i have two and kinda afraid how i'll keep them alive and started research, some says that they require anemone as if they'll die without it, help
No they will be fine
@@misth7270 we have 2 clown fish together without a anemone and they are doing great!
To keep a clownfish, always put salt on the aquarium, also, buy an anemone
how often do i change ta water sir?
It varies in marines but once per month is a good start
@@EverydayAquarist my fish is a clown fish is it okay if i only change the water once a month?
Oh....Saving Nemo! Unfortunately, the clownfish is now facing an even bigger challenge, climate change. Rising temperature around the world are bleaching in other words, killing off coral and sea anemone…. The habitats clownfish call home….
Natives in my country would sell them to my friends for half a dollar. Hahahahaha
Hey where you from ?
Can you just keep 1
Yes
that isn’t fair for the fish
@@diora266 Yeah I've been doing a lot of research I agree. I'm just going to stick with freshwater for a few more years.🙂
@@galinagause6273 you should start a Brackish! It’s a new step people don’t do a lot. You can keep starfish and some puffers
Thanks Harry Potter
dig your user name haha
just mad because they made the language and you changed it and now you mock them
@@thethiccster2828 yes
If we have no live plant and coral clownfish die
Hey there clownfish, I’m sorry for everything
No problem Mr. Barracuda
@@EverydayAquarist I wiped out almost an entire clownfish family in a disney movie
Oh no I can't let my goldfish, angelfish and guppy meet a clownfish 🥺🥺🥺, they can't be together
Damn, are clownfish are the only one that's like confused with the gender thing lol...weird actually. Never knew.
1l
Finding nobody movie sent me here
I’m watching this because I wanted to figure out where I went wrong. I had three clownfish and the biggest died yesterday, and the other two died just right now. We spent so much money on keeping them healthy and safe. I did find out what was wrong, but I don’t know what to do about it. My dad didn’t rinse the soup off his hands before putting his hand into the tank. I’m so sorry to the poor fish, I’m so so sorry. RIP Rocky, Claude, and Beau ❤️💔🐟🐟🐟
soap** not soup haha
I would add carbon to your filter, use something like seachem prime and do a 100% waterchange (if there are no other fish in the tank) then wait a few weeks before adding anything else
Please evolve them into freshwater fish... Scientists geneticists do it now! I want it, but too afraid of mixing a marine water concoction
Why did you call the clown fish Nemo there's no real fish like that
So it means Nemo's dad was looking Nemo to mate? Eww. So creepy.
Get 2 male, and decide who want to become a female. Geez. 😅
Kaitlyn Jenner probably thinks that he’s a clown fish I mean she’s a clown fish
My clownfish use the waiving hand anthelia as an anemone 😂 and spend the night hiding inside of the coral
Could I pair a new clownfish with an established clownfish? I have a single clownfish in my tank and I want to buy her a partner but Im not sure if I could even pair her with another clownfish.
