The plecostomus normally comes up to feed too. Shot on 5 June 2007.5 gallon saltwater aquarium
my 5g tank. has 1 clarkii clownfish, 1 parma damsel, 1 lawnmower blenny, and 1 hermit crab.
hopefully corals will be added soon from my dads new reef tank and also ones i buy since corals grow rather slow
im running a rapids mini canister filter, and 38 watts of light(19w each of 10,000k and actinic bulbs) in a home made hood(pretty crappy but works) with fan cooling.
im planning on making my own mini protein skimmer out of pvc and bottles with a wood stone for bubbles
in the future i want to upgrade to a 10 gallon half circle tank i saw at petco the other day. but that costs money which i dont have right now

African Malawi Cichlid Fish Tank Aquarium
After many changes, the finished Malawi fish tank, housed in 450 litre bow fronted aquarium (5′x2′x2′) are approx 70 fish including 4 clown loach, 3 Pictus catfish, 3 Bristlnose pleco, 1 Rainbow shark, 4 Denison Barbs, 3 Tropheus and an array of Malawi Cichlids from a variety of Alunocara to Yellow Labs and Livingstonii.
Before you say there are too many fish, I promise you there aren’t, if there were any less then the aggression between them would be too high!
The set up consists of:
Juwel Vision 450 Fish Tank (450 litres)
1 x Juwel Jumbo internal filter
1 x Fluval FX5 external filter
2 x 1500lph powerheads with air inlets and polishing filters
2 x 300W heaters
Approx 100-120kg ocean rock
Colour and Blue T5 lighting tubes
Blue moonlight LED strips
As expected the malawis are breeding regularly, there always 2-3 females pregnant at any one time, 25-50% water change carried out once per week.
Approx cost including fish was £2k but it brings hours of relaxation so worth every penny !!

The clownfish is a type of fish that lives in salt water habitats. It is also called an Anemonefish. Clownfish are typically very
bright, orange fish that have three white stripes, one at the head, middle and tail. If you look really closely, you may notice
that there are thin black lines around the white stripes. Also, the tips of their fins have a thin black rounded stripe.
Clownfish can grow to be from 2 to 5 inches long. The males tend to be significantly smaller than the females. However, there are
various types of clownfish that range in colours from blue to yellow.
Clownfish live in a “symbiotic” relationship with certain anemones. This means they benefit from living with the sea anemone, and
the sea anemone benefits from the presence of the clownfish. They are the only fish that are able to live in sea anemones and not
get stung by their tentacles. Clownfish are very active fish and are extremely aggressive. Because they are quite active, the
clownfish are thought to be “clowning around”. They defend their territory and the sea anemone that they live in. Clownfish eat
the leftovers from fish on the anemone and algae. The leftovers include copepods, isopods and zooplankton.
Clownfish have a few ocean predators, but their greatest threat is humans. People who catch clownfish and keep them as pets in
aquariums are making a mistake. There are only ten out of more than one thousand types of anemone that are able to host these
fish. Many people put the fish in a tank with the wrong anemone. In captivity, the clownfish can live from 3 to 5 years. In the
wild, they live 6 to 10 years.
What is Symbiosis?
Symbiosis describes the special relationship between clownfish and sea anemones. They are the only fish that do not get stung by
the tentacles of the sea anemone. Clownfish have a slimy mucus covering that protects them from the sea anemone. However, if this
covering is wiped off of a clownfish, it will get stung and possibly be killed when it returns home to the anemone. The clownfish
and the sea anemone help each other survive in the ocean. The clownfish, while being provided with food, cleans away fish and
algae leftovers from the anemone. In addition, the sea anemones are given better water circulation because the clownfish fan their
fins while swimming about.
Where do Clownfish Live?
Clownfish live at the bottom of the sea in sheltered reefs or in shallow lagoons, usually in pairs. Clownfish have a special
relationship with the anemone and are very important to them. They are a large help to the anemone as they clean the anemone by
eating the algae and other food leftovers on them. They also protect the sea anemones by chasing away polyp-eating fish, such as
the butterfly fish.
What is the Life Cycle of the Clownfish?
The spawning season of the clownfish, a time when they breed, is year round in tropical waters. Males attract the females by
courting. Courting behaviours include chasing, biting and extending fins. Clownfish lay their eggs in batches on coral, rock or
next to the sea anemone that they call home. The male clownfish will build a nest on the rock or coral near the anemone in order
to be provided with protection from predators. Breeding starts by the male chasing the female to the nest where the eggs are
released. One hundred to one thousand eggs are laid. The male clownfish guards and protects the eggs until they hatch. They hatch
within 4 to 5 days.
What are Some Special Characteristics of the Clownfish?
In a group of clownfish, there is a strict hierarchy of dominance. The largest and most aggressive female is found at the top.
Only two clownfish, a male and a female, in a group reproduce through external fertilization. The clownfish are hermaphrodites,
meaning that they develop into males first, and when they mature, they become females. Also, as mentioned earlier, more than one
clownfish is able to live in a sea anemone. If the female clownfish is removed from the group, such as by death, one of the
largest and most dominant males would become a female. The rest of the remaining males will move up a rank on the hierarchy.
