How to raise clownfish at home
First, build a warm and comfortable nest for them. The method of this nest is to find some living stones and build a cave with natural barriers for them. Attention should be paid to maintaining proper water circulation. It is best to put an oval pebble in the hole, insert pebbles outside the hole, and then find a larger anemone. When it grows up, it is best to cover almost the whole hole, or cover it with pebbles. The ideal anemone is a carpet anemone or a bearded princess anemone to provide safety protection. Then choose 1-2 smaller males (the male red clown fish is bright red) and 4-5 females with mature abdominal gonads (the female red clown fish is dark red). After breeding for a period of time, observe the pairing situation. For example, most of the paired clowns are nested together in anemones, and the rest are driven away, and the remaining clown fish are also driven away to prevent interference.

First of all, we should understand the growth process of artificial clown fish in the breeding ground.

When artificial clown fish first bred in farms, they were raised in bare water tanks. In the first few days, they were fed rotifers, and then adults for about a month and a half. When the artificial clown fish grows to more than 1.5cm and begins to sleep at the bottom of the tank, it begins to be domesticated. Domesticated foods are granular materials, shrimp paste and spirulina. Ten to fifteen days later, when all the fish hear the sound of water, they can be sold.

Second, the identification method of artificial clown fish.

First, the color recognition method

The artificial clown fish is lighter in color than the wild clown fish. If the color is particularly light, it may be that there is insufficient light during the breeding process, and this fish is weak. Pay attention when choosing.

Second, the size identification method

Due to the physiological characteristics of clownfish, only a few of them can grow up in the process of group rearing, and it is difficult for other fish to grow up when they grow to 1.5-2.5 cm. Only when they are raised separately can they grow up quickly. So when you see that the groups of artificial clown fish are very large, you should pay attention to the distinction.

Third, the habit identification method

Wild clownfish are particularly territorial, fighting each other to occupy territory, while artificial clownfish are not as territorial as wild clownfish and play more with each other.

Third, the food of artificial clown fish.

The food of artificial clown fish is relatively simple, such as granular materials, shrimp paste or other omnivorous bait. However, natural astaxanthin should be added to the food in the first two months. spirulina powder can make the fish more colorful, because the domestication time in the farm is short, and it is better to add some adults after feeding food.
