Creating a Saltwater Ecosystem

• Tang These fish eat algae. They can grow to be
  over a foot long. They are some of the fastest
  fish that can be kept in a saltwater aquarium.
• Eel Snake like fish that are carnivores. Eels
  will eat almost anything that fits in their
  mouths. They are escape artists and should always
  be kept in a tank with a tight lid. They can grow
  to over three feet long.
• Lion It is a slow moving fish with large
  venomous spines. They are also carnivores that
  will swallow almost anything. They are usually
  red, black, and white striped. They usually grow
  to be eight inches long.
• Clown These fish eat both meat and algae. Clown
  fish only grow to be four to five inches. They
  live in an invertebrate called an anemone. It is
  a symbiotic relationship. The clowns bring food
  to the anemone and the anemone protects the
  clowns.

Mrs. Van Beck

• I have two 90 gallon and one 20 gallon saltwater
  fish tanks.
• Spending time working on the tanks is a big past
  time for me. Getting an ecosystem to work takes a
  lot of time. Fish, corals, and invertebrates all
  must live in harmony. You must also have the
  proper equipment and knowledge to keep everything
  alive.
• I also have a Golden Retriever and three cats.
