Why are clownfish weird

[Areeflover]

New pair of clowns, why are clowns so strange lol

 

[>>klong<<]

To me, their swimming motion makes them look like hyperactive dogs. In my short experience, they seem to be the dumbest animals in my tank. I think my skunk cleaner shrimp is a genius, though.

Wow! Pretty fish! It is part of their mystery and magic!!!

Hence the word clown! Lol I happen to like them and their little faces. I've always kept a pair in my tanks.

Here is the other one. Lol amazes me they just chill right under the surface of the water like it’s the safest spot to be

I like that once they get to know you they will come rub against your finger and eat out of fingers. Cute little buggers!

Wow what is that?? A subzero?? It’s really cool! I hope the spots become more defined as it grows

Well it’s labeled as a frostbite from sea and reef. My local lfs ordered it. But I was thinking the same thing. Looks a lot like a subzero

Mine do the same thing, then I feed them and they go to the bottom like it made them heavier or something!

I mean, I guess unless you’re looking to breed and sell the babies the name doesn’t really matter. It’s a very nice fish though, I wish I had picked better patterns when I got my first pair of clowns but it’s too late now! My second pair is Wyoming White male with a Frostbite female, they’re both under 1” but I’m hoping that they hit their growth spurts soon because it’s getting tiring to feed them the itty bitty pellets and having half of them go to waste

In my experience clowns are one of the slowest growing fish

Yeah, my first pair took about 3 months to start growing but once they did they really packed on weight quick. I’ve had the new guys for around 2 months now so I’m hoping the same thing happens. It takes a really long time to get to the 3-4” adult range though, last time I did this it took almost 5 years for the female to get that big

They earn their name CLOWN
They’re dumb, yet entertaining. Small yet bold. They’ll host a stick of dynamite if you gave it to them, yet no matter what they host- we take lots of pictures

They swim so funny compared to other fish. Other fish just glide along and clowns swim like the equivalent of flat tire on a car. But they're quick as heck when they need to be.

Here’s my pair just doing clown things!

Mine is the most boring fish ever. All his does is chill in the same spot all day, never really swimming around. Unless that is I stick my hand in the tank, then I promptly get bit....

I wish I had a different fish...
