两亲植物

粉红色的臭鼬小丑鱼(Amphprion perideraion) is a slightly delicate and often underrepresented species in our hobby when it comes to anemonefish. The Pink Skunk Clownfish has a striking color pattern which is quite different from its more common three striped ocellaris cousin.
This species was first described in 1855 by Bleeker. It also has a broad range from Ryukus Islands in the north to the Great Barrier Reef in the south. The southeastern edge of Thailand to Somoa in the east. We were lucky to photograph these on a dive last April on Flynn Reef in Australia with their host anemone.
Skunk Species
顾名思义,该小丑鱼属于一个称为“臭鼬综合体”的群体。在描述的六个物种中,有三个存在着延伸背鳍长度的常见区分白线。三个展示臭鼬条纹的是粉红色的臭鼬小丑鱼(两亲植物), the Orange Skunk Clownfish (Amphiprion sandaracinos)和臭鼬小丑鱼(Amphiprion akallopisos).
其他三个物种similar in shape and appearance minus the dorsal stripe. The Pink Skunk Clownfish also has a postorbital stripe, which is absent on the Orange Skunk Clownfish.
该物种被认为是强壮的,除了某些例外,它们的运输不良,并且对迅速的水周长变化具有敏感性。在维护良好的水族馆中,粉红色的臭鼬小丑鱼具有繁荣甚至繁殖的能力。
Social Skunks
A social species, they can be kept in pairs or even small groups. These groups consist of a breeding pair and sub adults sharing one host anemone. The sub adults usually inhabiting the edges of the anemone. They are dependent on the anemone for defense and shelter due to their size and shy nature.
They rarely venture far from the anemone, even for food. The preferred host anemone appears to be the Magnificent Anemone (Heteractis magnifica), but they will also host in Sebae Anemone (异肌肉crispa), and Carpet Anemone (Stichodactyla gigantea).
The species is smaller in body size than most other clownfish species reaching a maximum of four inches (20 cm) in length. What they lack in size they do make up for in sound. The Pink Skunk Clownfish “sing” using their teeth, and jaw pops to amplify sound for attack and defense. This ranks them in the top three loudest out of all twenty-nine species of clownfish. The males tend to have pink or orange on both tail and dorsal fin and females show up with more white fins.
臭鼬护理
The Pink Skunk Clownfish would do very well in an established peaceful reef with good water quality and especially with a host anemone available. They are a tropical species with temperature range of 74 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit and can tolerate a pH range between 7.8 to 8.4.
An omnivore they will feed on algae, amphipods, larvae, and even small crustaceans. They will accept flake and any small meaty foods, usually a variety of Mysis and brine shrimp in the home aquarium.
粉红色的臭鼬小丑鱼值得考虑在一个既定的水族馆中展示。这些被遗忘的失误可以像在那里的任何设计师小丑鱼一样对家庭水族馆产生影响。
