Clown Fish

Clownfish fascinations went double with the release of Disney/Pixar’s Finding Nemo, in 2003, telling the tale of how an overly protective clownfish father risked his life in rescuing his “kidnapped” son.

An inspiring story giving emphasis over what parents would do and risk just to be their for their young, Finding Nemo was a huge hit, not just for Disney/Pixar, but also for clown fishes all over the world.

Dispelling certain traits which are associated with clownfish – like how Marlin, Nemo’s dad, turn out to be a clownfish with a bland sense of humor – the movie shares a lot about natural clown fish traits, like their unique relationship with sea anemones.

Of course, that is not all there is to tell about clownfishes. Here are some more clownfish facts:

Generally, clownfish are part of a group/type of fish known as damselfish. They are inshore reef dwellers, and are typically found in tropical waters. Mother clownfish are known to lay eggs near anemones, which are often located on the base of corral reefs.

When it comes to overprotective fathers, clownfish have that role perfected, given the fact that a male clownfish would guard eggs spawned in batches until they hatch. Some male clownfish species are even known to take active care of their young, which pretty much says a lot about Marlin and his relationship with Nemo.

In terms of their diet, clownfish work with sea anemones, given that they are immune to the stings of an anemone’s tentacles. Given their vibrant colors, hence the source of their name, they would swim around in an arc close to where a sea anemone is, luring predators close to them.

Once a predator is drawn to them, they’d simply swim back towards the sea anemone, which would then do the deed of capturing prey for clownfish.

As a fish variety, they are protected by most governments, given that they play a vital role in the natural symbiotic balance of marine corral reef life.

Basically, this means that having clownfish in aquariums is not as easy as what the dentist in Finding Nemo did.

But still, after seeing the movie, would you still want to take a baby clownfish from his dad?

Big Fish

Big fish are quite big hits, not just when talking about them in fishing circles or when talking about the movie, but also when referring to them as prized pets, often kept for their unique and impressive sizes and bulks.

The 2003 film bearing the Big Fish title was not exactly about a big fish, but rather takes its title from an age-long pun or adage (however you call it) where fishers of the old days would tell tales of them catching the biggest fish ever to be.

With the tall-tales and stories from the movie’s main character, the film managed to capture audiences into wondering once more, to see and believe in the power of big fish tales.

However, when talking about real big fish, pet owners with real big fishes don’t really have a difficult time in believing in a big fish’s actual existence.

The alligator gar would be one popular big fish pet, often prized because of their massive size and their generally “tough as nails” features.

A member of the gar species of fishes, alligator gars are often found in the freshwaters of North America, capable of growing up to 10 feet in length. They are different from other gars in the sense that their upper jaws come with rows of teeth, which had earned them the name “alligator gar” since their physical form bears some distinct alligator likeness.

Most alligator gars caught as trophies sport a silver-grey toned hue, but different colors and varieties are known to exist, some with orange-toned scales or with dark-deep-blue hue undertones.  These are the varieties which are often found kept as exotic big fish pets.

Alligator gars are carnivorous, so for pet fish aficionados who aren’t keen on feeding live prey to pets, keeping an alligator gar may not be such a great idea. Also, given that alligator gars tend to grow into big sizes, their upkeep goes beyond feeding concerns, requiring occasional alterations with their enclosures.

But as big fish pets, they are big, and not only that, they’re quite mean lookers, an added plus for those on the lookout for exotic big fish pets.

Think the alligator gars’ the right big fish for you?
