CLOWNFISH: More Than Just Nemo | All About Documentary Series

The clownfish is the most recognizable fish in the ocean, and for good reason. From its impossible friendship with venomous sea anemones to its strange ability to change sex, this small reef fish has one of the most fascinating stories in the animal kingdom. In this episode we cover the full natural history of the genus Amphiprion, plus everything you need to know if you're keeping one in your own tank at home. This is episode 3 of season 2 of the All About Documentary Series, where we take a deep dive into the wild side and the aquarium side of the species we love. --- Timestamps: 2:08 History 5:36 Taxonomy 7:55 Biology 10:18 Habitat 12:16 The Anemone Partnership 14:54 Reproduction 18:14 Predators 20:16 Diet 22:01 Diseases and Infections 24:25 Conservation 26:38 Captive Breeding and Aquarium Care 34:58 Conclusion --- Sources and further reading are at the end.
