Fish of The Day
Terrific Tuesday everyone! Today's fish of the day is the cinnamon clownfish! A fish that is, as their name implies, regularly ground up and used as a spice in many dishes across the world! (<- Joking)
The cinnamon clownfish, also known by the scientific name Amphiprion melanopus and several other common names, including but not limited to: cinnamon clownfish, fire clownfish, red and black anemonefish, black-backed anemonefish or dusky anemonefish. They live in the Pacific and Indian Ocean, are native to Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia , and as omnivores, feed on zooplankton and various small crustaceans. These clownfish are known to get as large as 12 cm, which is rather small to us, but a normal size within clownfish.
Like all clownfish, they are known for their symbiotic mutualism with sea anemones, and are unaffected by the sting. they are also known for being a sequential hermaphrodite, meaning they can change sex at will depending on if the schooling group they are in has enough males or females at any given time.
These fish are well known clownfish, due to being relatively popular in aquariums, due to being easy to care for and of a calm demeanor around other fish. They should be kept in a minimum of a 30 gallon tank, and due to them being schooling fish they should be kept in groups of three or more at a time. The amount of salt in the tank is recommended to be kept at a level of one tablespoon per gallon of water, and live in a temperature of 72-82 degrees.
Now you've heard of them, next time you reach for a cinnamon stick remember what is at cost. This fish, right here, this one in the photo, died for you to use that spice. (<-Falsehood) Anyhow, with that in mind, everyone have a good Tuesday!

Okay so I got to thinking about piranhas. I’ve always kinda wanted some. Couldn’t tell ya why. Maybe something about how unusual that would be lolll
But!!! I’d need a biiig tank and extra fancy water. (Brackish, which iirc is like a mix of fresh and salt water) and I wouldn’t replace my current tanks, so I’d just need to get a third!! Which is a lot :/
And ya know, they’re apparently really skittish! And would not actually want to bite your hands (unless they’ve been starved)! So :D no issue there!! Just some lil guys that happen to have big monchers <3
HoWeVeR they are illegal is like half of the US states :|

Sitting somewhere overnight to catch fish comes with a surprise on Wednesday! (I know it's Friday, but I had no time to fish in horse game)
The drawing was initially for something else, but eh--- one can't just know where the fishing duty calls, right?

There's not a lot of cute things that are fish shaped or have fish prints or pictures of fish on them but bizarrely there's so much shrimp and lobster themed merchandise out there so when it comes time for people who don't know me that well to give me gifts it's that or fuckin....whales

Fish of The Day
Happy Monday everyone! As I said, now that marching band is over for the season, I am restarting fish of the day! Today we will be focusing on the striped eel catfish! Personally, one of my favorite kinds of catfish, simply due to how cool they look.
Known by the scientific name of Plotosus lineatus, the striped catfish eel is a species of, surprisingly, eeltail catfish (otherwise known as the Plotsidea family) They are a distinct family of the catfish class due to their tails elongated, eel like structure. The tail fin is joined to the caudal and dorsal fin, forming one continuous fin. Where many catfish are known for their body armour, fish within this family are known to have spines along its back (otherwise known as dorsal spines). Within the Plotsidea family this means that these catfish can give a rather painful sting, however, within the case of the striped eel catfish these dorsal spines are highly venomous, and may cause death.
Like almost all catfish, the striped eel catfish are bottom feeders found native in the Indian ocean and Western Pacific as well as some freshwaters in Eastern Africa. They eat "crustaceans, molluscs, polychaete worms - and the occasional fish" as fishesofaustralia.net.au put it. Around Australia they are said to have a reef association. The species can also be found in the Mediterranean as an invasive species that traveled through the Suez Canal, and thus has been marked by the European Union as a species that can not be "imported, bred, transported, commercialized, or internationally released into the environment in the whole of the European Union.". This means Britain, a non European Union affiliated country, is free game for bringing striped eel catfish with intention to release as an invasive species (so long as you ignore that you are commiting environmental terrorism, it would be funny)
The striped eel catfish can reach lengths of 32 cm (13 inches!) long. These fish are often known for the large (about 100 fish!) schooling balls juvenile fish make, as they make mesmerizing patterns while swimming. I will attempt to link videos of this, but I am unsure how accessible they will be. Adults tend to separate from their younger schools as solitary fish, or find themselves in small groups of around 20. During the day these fish can be found hiding under ledges
It has been found that along Mediterranean striped eel catfish there has been no mortality rate from the venomous spines, whereas those found within the Indian ocean have what may be a stronger venom.
Everyone have a nice Monday!
