Once upon a time, many clownfish were first found living near the ocean floor.
Let’s take a deep look down under to see exactly where they are.
Clownfish prefer the warm water in the Pacific Ocean, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Clownfish got their name for their vibrant orange, white, and black-striped patterns. What do these colors remind you of? …………………………………
Yes, that is correct. These colors remind us of circus clown 's costume. But that is not all. Did you know that there are 28 species of clownfish, with many variations of colors and patterns living in the warm water? Whoa, that is a lot of colors.
Hey Mate!

Scientists researched how some species of clownfish are innately protected from the sting before contact with the sea anemone. But we must acclimate to our home by rubbing our mucus coat on the sea anemone’s tentacles over and over again to protect ourselves. Yays! It means we can live and survive the ocean.
Hey readers, Let count together from our calendar above.
• Day 0-4: We don’t see any eggs yet but can see the picture of daily development.
• Day 4: We can see how the lavas are beginning to develop.
• Day 5-6: We can see how they are large enough to start feeding. Their food supply is newly hatched brine shrimp.
• Day 7-8: We can see how the larvae develop over time and are able to feed only the live baby brine shrimp.
• Day 9: The eggs are hatching. They all are male. Some change to female under certain conditions however once female, they can’t change back.
Hey Mate!
These are our babies and all boys. Aren’t they precious? Let get to know our family history in scientific terms.
• Our Kingdom classification is called as Animalia.
• Our Phylum classification is called
Frilled dragon eggs are buried in the sand, in large clutches from 8 to 23. The eggs with hatch in 8-12 weeks. The sex of the babies are determined by the temperature outside. Once the eggs hatch, the babies may stay with each other for up to 10 days, but they are otherwise independent. They are born at only 2 inches long and weigh 3-5 grams.
Daphnia magna is a transparent water flea species found in rocky pools along the Atlantic Ocean. The Daphnia’s body is encased in a clear structure called carapace (Elenbaas, 2013). The exoskeleton, carapace, provides protection for the Daphnia magna, “The portion of the hard exoskeleton, or shell, that covers all or part of the body of many crustaceans…” (“Definition, n.d.). The heart can be easily seen under a light microscope due to the transparency of the skin (Handy, 2012).
Weaning takes place for about three months, at this stage they also begin to eat insects in addition to the nursing. At about two years the young is old enough and ready to reproduce
The Clown Loach fish (not to be confused with the Clown Fish in Finding Nemo) is one of the most popular aquarium fish around. The reason is probably their peaceful demeanor and entertaining personality. If you set up your aquarium incorrectly the clown loach will be shy and spend most of its time in hiding. However, if you set the aquarium up properly the clown's personality will begin to emerge. Clown loaches are community fish and thrive when they have at least 4 other clown loaches to hang out with.
Sharks are enormous mammals that live within the deep ocean waters all over the world. There are several different sharks in many parts of the world depending on temperature, seasons, food and more. Every shark is unique in their own way and every species is unique as well. Although humans view them as vicious creatures that are out to harm us while we are at the beach on a sunny Sunday, these creatures are just trying to live like any other animal in this planet. They each have different defense mechanisms, and physical features that all them to live and continue reproducing.
Understanding the biology of lobster is imperative to ensuring that the resource is being managed appropriately, and it provides context for the v-notch measure. American lobster (Homarus americanus) live on rocky sea bottom cover, and range across the eastern seaboard from the Maritime Provinces of Canada to the Mid-Atlantic United States. In the United States, Maine’s lobster fishery is by far the most prevalent. Lobster fishing in Maine occurs year round – lobster are often found offshore in the colder months and closer to shore during the warmer summer months. Lobsters are long-lived crustaceans.
The building has five floors that are accessible by an escalator and elevator, in which you basically start from one level to another and at each level there are different types of fish. The Blacktip Reef is located at the first level and it is one of the most impressive exhibits in the aquarium because it is connected below the aquarium where the sharks live, there are live corals exhibited and it replicates the Indonesian Pacific coral reef. There are also small sharks and manta rays that swims around the coral reefs. Calypso is a five hundred year old. female turtle that lives in the Blacktip Reef.
The farther north they are the later the eggs are laid. But on average they are laid in late July and early August. The eggs are white and malleable and are approximately one half an inch in diameter. Some species have 10 and others have 30, with an average of about 15. In some species the eggs are retained, and the young are hatched just
Cobias are pelagic spawners. During spawning which takes place diurnally, cobia broodstock release eggs and sperm into offshore open water and/or in estuaries and shallow bays? Eggs are buoyant, spherical of (1.2 mm in diameter). Fertilized eggs float freely with water currents until hatching that takes place after 24-36 hours after fertilization. The planktonic larvae develop their mouth and eyes in about 5-7 days and by then they become active feeders.
The great white shark is one of the most notorious fish in the oceans for being a ‘human killing machine’. Blockbuster shark attack movies like ‘Jaws’ are not helping their reputation because they make humans terrified of sharks, but the reality is that you have better odds of getting killed by a falling coconut, getting struck by lightning, or getting stung by bumblebee. The fact is we need sharks in our oceans. Great white sharks are being hunted to extinction, which will disrupt the natural ecosystem of the ocean, but there are conservation groups trying to help.
Scientific Name: Botia macracanthus Other Scientific Name(s): Cobitis macracanthus, Botia macrocanthus Common Name: Clown Loach Clown loaches are very popular aquarium fish; however they are not always easy to keep successfully since they easily succumb to ick and are sensitive to poor water conditions. This article is intended to help new clown loach owners provide a good home for their loaches. Clown loaches are found in Indonesia (Sumatra and Borneo), and almost all clown loaches in aquariums are wild caught and distributed around the world before being sold. This can put considerable stress on the fish, and a vital step in getting a healthy clown loach school in your aquarium is choosing healthy fish. But how to make sure that you get healthy fish?
My initial feeling when seeing the image was that it is very bright, and seems warm, idyllic and lively. According to Furth, ‘Different theories on color interpretation do not always agree on specific meanings, but theorists agree that colors can symbolize certain feelings, moods, even the tone of the relationship.’ (2002, p.97). He goes on to say that orange may indicate ‘rescue from a threatening situation’ (Furth, 2002,
Within the first group, Haplochrominae, there are two subgroups. Both subgroups require different environments which is something that you should consider when setting up the tank. The first one, known as Haps, consists of open water and sand dwelling species. The second subgroup is known as mbuna, which means “rockdwellers”. The Mbuna fish are smaller, and both sexes are often brightly colored, though in some species the females may be brownish overall.
Identification and Life Cycle The appearance of bed bugs changes depending upon their age. After insemination, female bed bugs lay seven to 10 eggs after every blood meal they consume. These eggs are about 1 millimeter in length, making them the size of a pinhead. Females lay their eggs wherever they happen to be, so you may find them anywhere in your bedroom or other affected areas. When the eggs are about five days old
