Hi there, I'm new to the hobby, though I'm bringing some experience from the FW side of things, but I'm in the process of planning out my tank (starting with what species I intend to stock). I have a 30 gallon bowfront tank and I was hoping to have a Maroon Clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus) in the tank along with a bubbletip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor).
I'd like to think of myself as being a conscientious aquarist so I want to make sure I provide an adequate home for these species. The print and online literature seems to vary with regard to what the minimum tank size is for this species - some say 30 gallons others say 40. I was curious if anyone with experience with these species could perhaps weigh in on whether or not I should move forward with this plan given that I have a 30 gallon tank or if I should nix it because it would simply be too small.
Also, I was curious if there is anywhere that one can obtain tank-bread Maroon clowns or Bubbletip anemones...
Thanks so much!

female maroons get really big as they get old and i think a 40BR 36x1x16 is just a much better size for the clown and the anemone. More space for the fish to swim and feel comfterble long term. Much better to aquascape because of the depth.
