I have two RBTA, I want to get rid of one. Ther problem is I have two blown fish, one is hosting each anemone. If i sell one, should i give them the fish also?

I'll assume you meant clown! If they are not mated, there's a good chance you'll have a big problem if you're down to one anemone and two clowns. There is a very chance they'll fight to the death.

There would be only one anemone, and both are damsels, and both have teeth!

clowns don't need an anemone, why get rid of the anemone ? 1 anemone becomes 2, 2 become 4 and so on. they will continue to split. RBTA's not as often as rainbows.

You can't stop them from splitting. And that's what they do. I started with 2, of different types I now have 8. I have given away 20 over the last 3 years.
