The clownfish is an ornamental fish. Because they have one or two white stripes on their faces, like clowns in Peking Opera, they get their name. Although they are called "clownfish", they are not ugly at all and are better to watch. Before breeding them, we need to know whether they are marine fish or freshwater fish, so that it is easy to control the surrounding environment in the process of breeding. They are a kind of marine fish, not freshwater fish.
They are native to saltwater waters, such as the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. In addition, they are also distributed in the Great Barrier Reef and the Red Sea. Later, they were introduced into other countries. For most species of clownfish, their distribution is relatively wide. They can also be kept in families, but they need to take full account of their marine fish habits and provide a suitable environment.
Seawater fish and freshwater fish are two different kinds of fish, and their habits and characteristics are quite different. Generally speaking, marine fish can not live in fresh water, of course, freshwater fish generally can not live in sea water. The clownfish belongs to a kind of marine fish. If it is raised in the family, it needs to create some environment like sea water, not fresh water directly. Therefore, they need to mix some sea salt into the water in which they are cultured. However, too much sea salt can not be added, and the concentration needs to be strictly controlled. Recently, however, there will be some desalinated species that can live in fresh water, but not too many. Water temperature also needs to be paid attention to, because they originally live in lower latitudes and warmer waters, so water temperature needs to be higher, about 25 degrees is better.
