[nanomania]

Im plannin on a 40g 24x24x17" lwh low tech fowlr tank. Plannning to make it an anemone only tank with maybe a few hardy softies.

Can i keep gbta with rbta? Also what other anemones can i keep with them other than rock/stone anemone.

Here is the fish list im planning on, obvioisly not all of these.

Oc clown pair or maroon clown pair
Fire antena goby 2
Purple antena goby 2
Algae blenny
Royal gramma
2 skunk cleaner
Brittle star
Yellow watchman goby

Please suggest me a blue easy fish other than damsels and which wud be compatible with maroon clown if i go with it.

Can i keep gbta with rbta? Yes, they are the same species

Also what other anemones can i keep with them other than rock/stone anemone. - I wouldn't risk any other nems (with the BTA's) in a 40g

Oc clown pair or maroon clown pair - Ocellaris are better suited to your tank size

All BTA's can be hosed together and touching without issues. I have around 15 BTA's in my tank with different varieties. I also agree on the Ocellaris clown being the best fit for your tank.

Say no to the maroons. They will get to big and mean for a tank this size. Maxi mini nems will work in your set up. Your gobies may have trouble with the nems in this tank if they like to perch.

Not a pure anemone tank. I got a mix of everything. I just really like BTA's and flower anemones.

How do u prevent them from getting onto the wavemaker and commit sucide? Iv lost 2 like that even though i had good flow.

When I first get them I watch them, especially during the night. I have found if you have a nice piece of live rock with a good hole in it they will love it if you place them in there. Sometimes I would place this rock and nothing else in an empty compartment in my sump FAR away from any pump so it can attach then move it into the display.
