In order to find the 1 inch sailfin tang I just got, started to take LR out. The first piece I had to move was the daisy gonapora that my pair of false perc host. My clowns will be mad at me for days. I have got to get a camcordor. Chloe was having a meltdown! I had to move the daisy gonapora that they host to remove more rock to search for the little guy. Chloe kept swimming frantically around my hands as I moved the gonapora. Nemo stood on the side lines watching anxiously. Chloe nipped me a couple of times.... to say LET GO OF MY HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!! The next scence was heart breaking......after I repositioned the daisy, I looked over to see if the home owners had followed.....Chloe and Nemo were huddle close together hovering over the spot where their house had been. They were flicking there fins anxiously, and they kept bobbing there heads at each other. Chloe keep plucking at the bare rock in hopes to find the house. Between pluckings she would turn towards Nemo and shiver and go back to searching. Finally I stuck my hand back in(Chloe is used to being hand fed so she readily follows my hand) and tried to get Chloe's attention. She mad a mad dash for my hand, I'm sure she intended to give me what for, but I had been hoping for this, and I moved my hand right over the daisy. Chloe stopped emediatley, and did what I would call the clown fish dance of joy!!!!!! The couple spent the next hour rubbing and reuniting with their house. It was so cute.
This morning I had to ajust a coral that had toppled over. Chloe came streaking over and nipped me hard several times! Then she zipped back to the house and hovered over the daisy in a defense posture. I guess I be sleeping in the dog house for the next week!

Oh! Thats a cute story! Clown fish are so full of personality, it's no wonder they made a movie about them! Mine won't host anything...I have tried a bubble tip...they ignored it, pictures hung up..they are scared of it!..they dig holes in the sand and fight over the same spot..I have video of them doing the tail shaking, and side ways thing. A blue chromis has taken up with them, and the female clown seems to like him better than her mate! They are awesome fish and mine too will eat from my hand, when they want more they will nip me too! Little stinkers!

It's very possible, I Know Chloe is 2yrs old. Clown fish mature around 2 yrs. Nemo Is 1 1/2. I have seem him many times doing the submissive flirt with her, but they haven't gone "rolling in the daisy" yet. I hope they do. That would be awesome!

Thanks! I try to keep it fairly clean and of coarse I can't take all of the credit, my sea hare really takes care of alot of the stuff! He will eat anything nasty, algae any kind, particals of who knows what..he will suck in sand and poop it out his back...sparkling clean! Like a little vaccume. I recommend that everyone get one. Oh and I wish mine would host something...anything! Great shots!

2yrs old is maturity? So then how long do clownfish live overall? Up to 5yrs old?

Don't know, I'm sure it says some where on the web, haven't found out though.
