Clown and a Anemone tank advice?

[Frost3839]

Looking to start up a 55gal just clown and anemone tank. ANy advice? How many pairs could I keep and any other adive anyone have?

1 pair of clowns per tank is the rule. alot have tried more than one but once they become a breeding pair you will most likely be back to 1 pair.

Wait at least 4-6 months after tank is cycled to add a nem. Every tank is different, but it usually takes that long for a tank to remain stable month after month.depending on the type of nem you want, I highly recomend getting at least a 4 bulb t5 fixture or go with LEDs. The easiest hosting nem to keep is a bubbletip and they are the most widely accepted nem by almost all clowns. Also, if your only going to have a pair of clowns, try going with something different, like snowflake ocellaris/Picasso perculas, as they aren't the standard everyday Nemo lol. Or maroon clowns as they get much bigger and usually require a dedicated tank anyway as they are aggressive.
