Amphiprion sebae - Sebae clownfish

The True Sebae clownfish is a beautiful and hardy fish recommended for beginners. Aggressive only towards its own species it won’t harm smaller fish. Keep only 1 individual per aquarium. The A. True Sebae is easily confused with the Clarkii clownfish; it is so difficult to differentiate them that some specialists are beginning to consider that they may be in fact the same species.

True Sebae clownfish can be kept safe with invertebrates. They will eat almost anything it is fed, but the diet should include meaty food items such as chopped shrimp and herbivore preparations. A high quality marine flake food, rich in spirulina algae, as well as freeze dried and frozen foods are readily accepted. They will also graze on any algae in the aquarium.

The True Sebae clownfish does not need an Anemone to survive, but will accept many different Anemones as its host, including corals. It is probably the least picky when it comes to Anemones and will accept Carpet Anemones, Bubble Tip Anemones, Sebae Anemone, or Long Tentacle Anemones as its host.

If the anemone dies, or there is no anemone, the clownfish will adapt by feeding its rock. It will literally chose a rock in the aquarium as its own, and faithfully drop food on it at every feeding, and even sleep near it at night.

Unlike other fishes clownfish are born with no determined sex, meaning they can change sex. In a group of clownfishes the largest individual will become a female, the second largest clownfish will become a male. If you remove the female from the school the the current male will change to female and the next larger individual will become a male.

A pair will lay eggs along the base of the host anemone, using it to protect the eggs. The eggs normally appear orange in color.

The eggs will normally hatch in 6-11 days depending on the temperature. Is extremely important to remove the fry the first day from the tank. Rear them separately on a diet of rotifers and baby brine shrimp.

In sheltered inshore reefs it lives in Stichodactyla gigantea and one outer reefs it usually lives in Heteractis magnifica.

The colorful fish clean the anemone by eating the algae and food leftovers on the anemone. Clownfish also help to protect the anemone by chasing away poly-eating fish such as the butterfly fish. In return the anemone protects the clownfish. This is known as symbiotic (or living together) association.

Dolphins, which is always smiling

No animals are so friendly and like dolphins. Attitude that they are tame and clearly visible from the face.

At birth, was first out ekornya, and finally his head and body. To feed the children, parent dolphins move the muscles in the gland susunya milk to squirt water into the mouth of a child. You can compare them with a bottle of milk with your hand to inject the contents to the outside.

Mammals do not actually need such as spraying to breastfeed her child. However, such a very important time in the water. Get the parent dolphins are thinking and how to develop such a self? Can he knows how important such a complete and scrofula susunya with musculature? As you imagine, it's not possible! As we emphasize all, God created the parent body of dolphins with a situation that is very appropriate to the needs of their children.

Respiratory system dolphins also similar to humans. However, nose hole does not lie in the middle of the face, but at the top of his head. As human beings, before the dive, dolphins mengirup air and menahannya in the lungs. When they emerged from the depth of the water, a few meters before reaching the surface, they will expel the air with a powerful air holes through them.

You may never see on TV how santainya dolphins swim in the water, and even able to compete with the ship. They are the perfect swimmer. The skin is smooth and slippery is the main reason why they can swim with so perfect. This distinction helped slide in the water and swim faster. Other privileges that make dolphins swim is quickly nose, referred to as a muzzle. Muzzle of dolphins is very fit to swim fast, even become a model for ship design.

Thanks to the form, and our ships can sail faster than before.

You know that dolphins do not have any smell and indra also blind?

However, God gave him a very sharp hearing. Dolphins can hear the sound of far-kilometer berkilo. In addition, by using the system in the body similar to the equipment "sonar" used in the bottom of the sea, they can easily find out the direction and know where mangsanya. The system is working tool as follows: Voters issued dolphins, which can not be heard by humans, spread in the form of sound waves under water. When the sound of a strike, it will bounce back and menumbuknya. The time needed for fish or a stone bruise and bounce back shows the distance from the quarry or stone. System on the dolphins is inspire scientists to create a sonar system on the submarine.

Indra hearing a dolphin is very sharp protect a victim of other fish in the sea.
