Anemonefish Husbandry
Summary
This book chapter describes the husbandry and breeding requirements for anemonefish in aquaculture settings, noting that unlike most reef fish, anemonefishes are benthic spawners that lay eggs on substrates near their sea anemone hosts. Successful captive breeding depends on replicating key environmental and behavioral conditions. Sustainable aquaculture of anemonefish reduces pressure on wild reef populations.
Unlike most reef fish families, which are broadcast spawners, damselfishes and anemonefishes are benthic spawners. Indeed, as mentioned in Chapter 6, anemonefishes live in the vicinity of their sea anemone host and lay eggs on a substrate nearby.
