Also, I have heard of clownfish changing their sexes sometimes. Why does this happen? How does it work?
I don't think this is actually true but rather a widespread misconception. Fricke did some experiments on A. bicinctus and found that the sex change requires a dominant and submissive. A single male would not change sex.Many fish change sexes.
Clownfish are all born male. ... If a male is left alone, it will eventually become a female. ...
Many reef fish can live in a relatively wide range of salinities because they osmoregulate to maintain their internal salinity (which is the same as ours). They usually handle lower salinities better than higher but I had the specific gravity in tanks going as high as 1.045 and none of the fish showed any discomfort. On the other end of the spectrum most fish handle a specific gravity as low as 1.008 just fine. This is used for Hyposalinity treatments against certain parasites.How does the salinity level of the water affect fish, corals, and inverts? How come they are unable to maintain homeostasis in salinities that are too low or high?
