The only fish i have ever seen that could actually eat it well was a rectangulus trigger.
In order to understand osmoregulatory mechanism and its association with growth performance and prl in fish the gene encoding prl and its expression.
Levels of prl in the pituitary gland and plasma ion composition of clownfish seem to change to regulate their hydromineral balance during adaptation to waters of different salinities.

Food intake and or food conversion.
However as it is with all fish you can t let yourself get carried away and overfeed them.

Thus small fishes generally eat proportionately more.
Now the average group of clownfish population in queensland australia has shrunk from 25 members to just six making it harder for them to breed.
My initial thought is.
Better growth rates in cod gadus morhua at lower salinity correlated well with an increase in food conversion efficiency.
My clowns will swallow air if i even let a few pieces of food float and it will freak you out because you will think something is wrong with it.
Do not be alarmed this is normal.

Culture of clownfish species in low saline water is still in its infancy.
