The clownfish, or amphiprioninae, if you're a fancy scientist who speaks Latin for whatever reason, is a fish that lives in the tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean. They are also known as anenomefish, as they have a tendency to live inside of sea anemones, which provide them with protection and companionship when the fish gets lonely. Clownfish have the ability of sequential hermaphroditism, which basically means that if there are no available mates in the area, the weakest clownfish will literally change genders to conform to whatever the school needs. They were basically Caitlyn Jenner before being Caitlyn Jenner was cool. Clownfish are not actually, in fact, funny, and are instead like that guy that you always feel bad for and always fake a laugh towards as you gradually inch away, making some lame excuse as you leave. They got their name simply from their poor choice in careers, spending 6 years at a liberal arts school for a career that will lead them nowhere in life. We need to show these fish our support, as most of them are just trying to get by. They also have a bad habit of losing their children, so they have to go on long, epic, animated adventures with a fish who can't remember much of anything. However, the clownfish will always come out the other side okay because of their positive views on life. A positive attitude is very important for a clownfish, as their diet consists almost entirely of the fecal matter excreted from their host anemones. Clownfish lay hundreds of thousands of eggs at a time, and they are then guarded for a week or two until the eggs hatch. However, the parents are not particularly good at guarding their eggs, as only an incredibly small portion of the eggs that are laid live to hatch. The parent fish need to be very careful when naming their children, as all children are born males, but some later develop into females. Thus, the parents will need to choose names that will fit both the male and female roles of the fish, without having them feel left out as they mature. Wednesday, December 2, 2015
