Once on vacation near the sea I've seen restaurant that advertised itself with characters from "Finding Nemo"
Ocellaris clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris)
Fun fact: All clownfish are initially born as males, but can switch their sex to become female. They'll only do this to become the dominant female and the change is irreversible.
Known threats: Overfishing, pollution, ocean acidification
Conservation organization/initiative/network of the day: The Coral Triangle Knowledge Network (http://www.ctknetwork.org/) is a website where researchers, professionals, students, community leaders, nongovernment organizations, policy makers, and anyone who wishes to collaborate online can come together to discuss how to protect the coral reefs.
What you can do: Reduce plastic use whenever possible (i.e. using a reusable bag when grocery shopping, stop using plastic straws, use reusable bottles)

I know it can depend on food and stress, but i have had my clownfish for about 3 years and they are still not full size (3 inches) They have gone from 1 inch to 2 inches. Does this mean in another 3 years they will be full size? I just didnt think it would be that slow. I feed them plenty i feel like.
What are your experiences with clownfish growth?
