Clownfish?

[HUNTER1]

I have a 40g 36x15x19. Will a pair of clownish female 3 inches and male 2 inches, is my tank large enough? and how old you think are they? thanks

If anyone can guess how old they are without even knowing the species of clownfish; I want to hire him/her.

Yes, your tank is large enough. No, we can't tell you how old they are. When you get them, we expect pictures. It's nice that you got two that are already a pair. Keep us posted.

 

[HUNTER1]

Sounds good. Haven't got them yet but I'm first in line for them.

 

[HUNTER1]

Here the are, what do you think?

 

[EllieSuz]

Very pretty.

Thanks. I'm getting them this afternoon. I see some black specks on their body, is that signs of maturity?

Pretty picture. No, not a sign of maturity. I can't tell from the pic, but it could be black ich. BI is a parasitic worm that is usually cured with Prazi-pro. I'm no expert on the clowns, just a heads up.

Nice clowns. What brand of 40gallon tank do you have? I like the dimensions...

the black spots could also be coral stings so make sure what they are first before doing alot.

Definitely large enough. I believe clown pairs can be kept in tanks as small as 10 or 20 gallons. And once they have an anemone they don't need much room to swim anyway.

Well I have 2 clowns in my 29 biocube and they've been there for 2 years. I bought them as babie and they are about that size now. 40 gallons is plenty for those two guys, mine have paired and started to act like they want to breed.
