The movie “Finding Nemo” has gotten kids interested in the Clownfish. Many school projects are popping up for this colorful orange fish.
There are 28 species of clown fish. They are orange, yellow, maroon and many other colors. The most common clown fish – and the one that looks most like Nemo is the percula clown fish which is bright orange with white stripes. Clown fish are between two and five inches long.
Clown fish live on the ocean floor. They are found in the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
