True Percula Clown and other 2 small fish in 15G?

[al404]

I think I almost found fish that I would like in my tank: okinawae, Tail Spot Blenny and a True Percula Clown

Are they too much in 15G tank?

If I add a really small True Percula Clown Would turn into a female or it is going to stay as male?

I also see in my fish store something that looks like an anemone but much small it as big as an orange

It was white with purple tips and it doesn't burn as anemone but I can't remember the name
I was wondering if it grows and if will kill the all tank on death

I would drop the perc and just get the goby and blenny.

Clownfish by itself will always turn to female...
Can't really answer the anemone question without a name ... Though if was fairly small and inexpensive was probably a condylactis an anemone from the Atlantic and Caribbean. Clownfish will not go to them and they're usually pretty aggressive . Once had. One kill a bubble tip.

Scientific research has shown that this statement is false:

Social Control of Sex: Field Experiments with the Anemonefish Amphiprion bicinctus

Abstract

From the underwater station Neritica, situated in 11 m depth off the shore of the Heinz-Steinitz-Marine-Laboratory in Eilat, Israel, experiments were carried out to investigate the influence of food restriction, social status, body size and relative frequency of aggressive interactions on protandric sex change in the anemonefish A. bicinctus. Some 47 fish were tagged and observed in different conditions. Caged conditions retard, sometimes even prevent sex change in dominant males; it is suggested that this is consequent upon the ensuing food restriction, also that this mechanism operates to prevent sex change in subdominants in freeliving conditions, through the aggressive restraint of dominant males. No solitary males, caged or free, complete a sex change. Complete functional sex change occurs only in well-fed aggressively dominant males at least 100 mm in body length in the presence of a social partner. The study shows that social stimuli are vital for the initiation of sex change in these males.

To turn into a female they need have a certain (species related) minimum size and a submissive partner.

As for the tank size:
I have a pair of true percula, hosted by a gigantea carpet anemone, in a 10 gallon tank. Further they share this tank with a pair of banggai cardinals, a pair of anemone shrimp, a porcelain anemone crab and a pistol shrimp and they are all doing fine for quite a few months now.
It wasn't meant to be a long term solution but it seems t work just fine. A 10 gallon tank makes doing water changes for sure easier.

was a condylactis, i asked to my fish shop owner
i did a little research on forum and found it eats corals and fish :uhoh3:

i chose to get the ocellaris i guess it would be better to add it as last fish

Yes, but you are the exception to the normal rules :beer:

Where have you been hiding lately, you haven't been very active in a while.

Interesting article [emoji106] I never kept a single clownfish and I guess my books from the 90's are outdated!
