    Default anenome and clownfish tank

    I have a 20 gallon tank that I am going to make into a clown/anenome tank. What would be the best clown/anenome combo in anyone's opinion?I decided Bobby's sponge tank was more trouble than it was worth.Sponges are not real exciting.

    good choice !! i like clowns. in fact i have 5 of them (2 pink skunks,2 false percs,& 1 true perc.) cool thing is they all host to something but only the 2 pink skunks are to an anemone.

    here is a link to a clownfish and anemone compatability chart ...

    IMO,a pair of Tomato Clowns with a BTA(Enacmea Quadricolor) would be a good choice for that tank.Its not a good idea to keep different species of Clownfish in
    the same tank.Although i love Percula Clowns too,BTA's arent there natural host anenome in nature(although they will often host in them in captivity).A BTA is the only anenome i would ever consider keeping in captivity.With Tomato Clowns,a BTA is their natural host anenome.If you need any advice on selecting 2 in hopes that they'll pair up,let me know.

    speaking of clowns.. I have 2 yellow striped marroons in a 75 and waas trying to get them an anemone which do you guys suggest I tried a Lta but they were not interested..They perefered my poloyps an xenya instead. and is it safe for more than one species of anemone in the same 75 gal tank.

    Seriously Bobby,if you would of went back and read C-wrasses ?,you could of responded with some intelligent advice rather than just repeating what you had posted earlier.
    BTW C-wrasse,its not a good idea to have different species of anenomes in the same tank
