@Great Argus I know some other zoos keep different species, I just feel like the Clown Anemonefish is the one that seems to only be popular with the Visitors.
@CheeseChameleon2007 Well A. ocellaris and A. percula both since they are pretty similar to each other and the base for Nemo. I agree the public recognizes them as clownfish most often compared to some other species.
@CheeseChameleon2007@Great Argus I have been visiting this fish at Chester for as long as I can remember so he may well be even older. I too love to see the more unusual clown fish species exhibited, much nicer than the 'designer' mutant ocellaris which swarm the aquarium trade these days. I've always felt that a tank with a pair or group of saddleback clownfish (Amphiprion polymnus) with a large carpet anemone amongst sand and coral rubble which is their natural habitat would make a really nice display and very different from most clownfish related exploits! I really want to visit the MBA (and for that matter any of the other large American aquariums) they seem like they are a level above anything here in the UK
