Many people report 5 years plus with these using NLS pellets. Only one guy reports feeding sponge regularly.

I bet a lot more clownfish die in captivity than moorish idols. I don't see you championing their cause.

Sorry Wayne, but your "opinion" means squat to me, as long as you have/had a tank of your own. I killed a fish, you torture them for longer periods.



And no, the pic wasn't meant in humour at all. It was meant as a glimpse into where fish end up. They're food for humans. Sometimes we adopt them and keept them trapped in a box for our enjoyment, but they're fish. They have been removed from the ocean since we figured out how, and they will be removed for as long as they or us exist.

If my keeping a fish and posting about it helps save one that is going to get purchased anyway, I'm glad.



Lastly, I have no problem discussing ethics of fish-keeping, or life for that matter, but if you're going to be a dink in your replies, I have no interest in talking to you.

It's a sad, sad truth, but marine fish "bite the dust" all the time.. Even in the hands of well intentioned and educated hobbyists a clownfish can "bite the dust"
