Clownfish have gained a high level of popularity in the saltwater hobby because of their hardiness and abundance of personality. They will form shoals in the home aquarium with the two dominant fish becoming a pair. The largest Clown is typically the terminal female, the next largest the male, and the others remain juveniles. Tank-raised specimens are typically considered extremely hardy and they adapt better to the home aquarium than wild-caught specimens.
