Anemone selection?? (Distant future :( )

[Guido]

Hi, i was just wondering what would be the best anemone selection for a few true perc. clowns? Also, are they safe to have with other fish?? (Probably a flame angel, 6line wrasse, maybe a few gobbys and dragonet)

The fish in the tank will probably be these select fish (maybe more if i feel i can squeeze them in without having to do extra water changes and such monthly)

2 True Perc. Clowns
1 Six Line Wrasse
1 Lemonpeel Angel Fish
1 Mandarin Dragonet
1 Royal Gramma

Maybe a watchman gobby (just worried about the little bugger jumping out)

If i were to get an anemone sometime down the road, it would eat any of these fish mentioned would it? (If it helps, the anemone will probably be introduced after all of the fish so the fish should be full grown)

I would go with a bubble tip, they are fairly easy to care for and percs like them. just make sure when you decide to get him you have good light and water quality. they are picky on those 2 aspects of your tank.

Yea, like i said, it is the distant future so everything will be stable as can be by the time i add it.

Id Waite till the tank is at least 6 months old to put one in for as already steaded Thea can be picky

OK. I just figured I would use this topic instead of posting a new one.

I just read that hermit crabs are more of a nuisance then anything. Picking at snails until they are able to eat them (cant remember the exact wording) but, i was just wondering if i could get by with maybe like 30+ snails? (Probably a few astrea snails and nasarius snails, dont want the turbos knocking things around like they own the place... BECAUSE THEY DONT! lol)

[Guido]

Dont forget post above. ^^^^^^^^

Also, i just read for True Perc. clowns, a rose anemone is best to suit them. Is a rose anemone toxic, poisonous, etc. to other fish?

These are what I'm going to have/start with.

2 perc clowns
1 Lemonpeel angel
1 mandarin
1 royal gramma
1 six line wrasse

Also going to have a bunch of snails and probably a few cleaner/fire shrimp, also cucumbors, etc. (The whole shibanga bang for a clean up crew).

roses from what i have read are tough to keep and cost a pretty penny

I would stick with the BTA they are one of the hardiest of the anenome's and when you decide to and if you go with a BTA try and get a tank prpogated one they are hardier than the wild caught.
Condylactis are not too bad either, they are hardy as well.
your BTA will prefer a strong to moderate current and most of the time they will anchor their basal disc into a crevice.
Another FAIRLY hardy one is the green carpet anenome but I read that some clowns are particular to host to this and the green carpet anenomes PACK A PUNCH The one I used to have I was hand feeding him and had a cut on my finger and brushed one of his tips and WOW THAT WILL LET YOU KNOW YOUR ALIVE. Also carpets like to wander quite a bit.
IMO I would go with a BTA or a condy!!!! hope that helped :D

BTA is bubble tip anemone correct?
