Re: Going to start again #2
hi there

From my knowlegde youll obviosly need a tall tank, clowns that get on with eachother.. (so you have to get from same shop)

but if you want an anemone youll have to have a mature tank of at least 6months..

but be careful as theyll be definalty one clown thatll be bullied to death...

A more experinced reefer will help you more later in the afternoon

What Phil says .....

A shoal of clowns very rarely does well , for the reasons given , one will be singled out and hounded to death , until probably the dominant pair remain ....

The dominant pair would host the 'nem and then chase everything else away , with the tank being so small , they would have no-where to run to , so it would be all out war very quickly ....

Also , given the depth of the tank , how would you do any maintenance ? Looking at the depth of the tank , and the actual floor/surface area , i would class that as a nano , and as we all know , anemones in nanos are a no-no ...

From the noise in the background, i would assume it is at a public aquarium , so they would have endless time and money to devote to it ... if you can't do the same, i would think about a more conventional set up ....

Sorry to be a party pooper ...

Keep your friends close , but your anemones closer ....

I think it looks too sparce for them all? I think fish are more secure when they have a more natural environment and places to hide.
