Adding a pair of Amphiprion polymnus.

[Kiel'thalin]

Common name "Saddleback", dark orange/blackish with with white saddle. Is there anything I should know about these particular clowns? Anyone have any experience with these guys? My tank will only have 3 fish, these clowns and a green mandarin that I have had for three months. My LFS has made them fat with only feeding frozen brine. I find it a bit odd, but being a new to the hobby I will continue to just feed a variety of frozen items everyday with formula 2 pelets 2-3 times a week for these guys. I already feed frozen to my mandarin, I just hope the clowns are not too agressive eaters, I don't want them to starve the mandarin. I am also not in any hurry to get them, they have been at the LFS for over two months already.

In my experience, A. polymnus get fat very easily. They will eat until the food is gone, expect to have to over feed so the mandarin gets to eat. The saddles I have had would call any anemone home.

Quite a few, if not most saddles are skittish, are prone to eye damage, and popeye.

Not sure I would recommend them for the tank you describe.
