Real-world information[edit]

Two clownfish with a purple sea anemone.

Clownfish are native to Indian and Pacific water and can be found in the Great Barrier Reef and the Red Sea. They are usually paired with Surgeonfish andButterflyfish when sharing tropical and reef aquariums. The species of clownfish featured in theAnimal Crossing series is the common clownfish (Amphiprionocellaris) which is the most recognizable clownfish and the one most likely found in commercial aquariums. They are usually peaceful, but have been known to attack each other. As mentioned by Blathers inCity Folk, it holds a strong bond with sea anemones, using them as a home and place of shelter. Although sea anemones are toxic, they fail to poison clownfishes, because they have a mucus lining on their skin that protects them. The clownfish and the sea anemone feed each other respectively, with the clownfish feeding on undigested matter left by the sea anemone and the sea anemone eats what the clownfish excretes. Wild clownfish are very rarely caught to be used in private and public aquariums; they are now tank-bred, which insures they are more immune to diseases and less stressed when introduced to aquariums.
