Which Clown Fish to Choose?

[SharkLVR09]

Alright, Well... I might be setting up a 30G Tank for small fish and Invertebrates. My question is What type of clowns are a good one to go with. I am in hopes of Possibly Breeding them as well as hoping to get them to host to an anemone. My other question is, What anemone should I do to help them in hosting one. I know theres some out there they just won't host. I appreciate the info everyone. Thanks!

true percs with bta?

+1, can't go wrong with trues and bta's. As far as getting a pair you could breed later the trues are a very good choice too, If I can organize this anyone can,

Thanks! Man, Now that you say it I should have known that. I just had a brain Fart. Anyway, Thats what I was thinkin' on doing! Cool! Whats everyones opinion on black ocellaris Clowns? My Girlfriend found a pair of them that she is in love with. They are kinda cool. I just wanna hear some opinions!

I had a pair about a year ago, nice looking clowns and should work well for you.

Are they common to host an anemone. I can't remember, but someone at a LFS told me about a sp. That is hard to get to host to an anemone. Any ideas?

They won't host any anemones, but they will be hosted

Back when I had my pair they were hosted by an LTA; M. doreensis.

Alright Cool, I'm sure you all know that ya gotta keep the girlfriends happy. . . Than, that means I can possibly Turn the Second room(office) Into my own fishroom! lol... Thanks for the info everyone.

My vote is for a pair of Gold Stripe Maroons if you can find a pair and a RBTA....but I'm biased.

I like them too! I am worried though with those because of the size they reach! I am gonna do between a 25-30G Smaller fish tank, I know those Clowns get a little larger than most. I am worried about doing a pair in such tight quarters.

If they are your only fish and you just keep one large RBTA in there (which will probably split) it would be fine. Just depends on which way you want to go with the tank.
