The fisheenie clown is a common clown fish found throughout the atlantic Caribbean region though during summer months it is found as far north as NY. The fisheenie clown is sometimes called the mimic clown due to its documented behavior of mimicking the long mouth kila species, the dominant predatory species throughout these regions. By mimicking the long mouth kila the fisheenie clown is often able to establish itself in regions normally dominated by the long mouth. The long mouth while not known as a peaceful species is sometimes tolerant of the fisheenie clown but has been known to become aggressive from time to time when the fisheeenie mimic clown tries to assert itself too boldly within the long mouths territory. When alarmed the fisheenie clown puts on a marvelous display of posturing and gesturing but do not be alarmed! Once this display of posturing and gesturing is deemed ineffective by the fisheenie clown it quickly retreats to safety within the shallow areas of the reef where there is little threat of danger. Here the fisheenie mimic clown continues to postures and gesture in the safety of the shallows just as a precautionary measure of impending danger.
The fisheenie clowns are live bearers where the female fisheenie cares for their young to a pre adolescent age where they are cast out to fend for themselves. These fish have been known to often form symbiotic relationships with the electric batricks snake eel. The full nature of this symbiotic relationship is unknown but it is believed the electric batricks snake eel provides shelter for the casted juvenile fisheenie clown and in return the clown provides food amongst other things so that the electric batricks snake eel can feed comfortably with little effort of its own. The length of this relationship is not fully known but it is believed that around the middle age point the fisheenie clown may leave this symbiotic relationship to seek a mate. It is speculated that the fisheenie clown may be hermaphroditic as once it finds a mate and the courtship has been established the female assumes the dominant role. While it unknown if male fisheenie mimic clowns maintain life long partnerships with their mate it is well documented the female takes on several partners through out her young adulthood. It is believed once the female assumes the dominant role and turns her mate into a galclown state she then seeks another dominant male clown where this phenomenon is repeated over and over through out her life cycle.
Fish aficionado and lover Peter King was believed to have conducted great research and video documentation of the fisheenie mimic clowns behavior but do to an untimely death these video documents have yet to released to the public and likewise content of this data not yet fully known.
