Anemone?(I’m new)

[Carmal]

I plan on getting a pair of clowns and I know people get anemone for clowns, would an anemone be a good choice for a beginner and in a 50 gallon tank?

I think there is a lot of factors involved with anemone's . Tell us about your tank . Stuff like how long it's been running ,lighting, fish & water parameters .stuff like that. I'd like to know also. I'm probably getting one soon.

50 gal be fine for a bta but tank needs to be stable and that means waiting 6 months to a year....

Ok thanks, I haven’t gotten the tank yet!

For an anemone, you need to make sure you have stable parameters and that takes time to learn. The tank also needs to build up a great zooplankton population. This means a more mature tank. Just make sure you get good lighting for the nem too. Clowns do not need an anemone in home aquaria. But, the relationship is really fascinating and wonderful to watch and see.
