Aquarium Tank Inhabitants (fish, coral, invert etc.)
- Fish List
- Clownfish
- Total Fish
- 2, Always have enjoyed Clowns. My first tank, clowns were always hosted by an anemone. Got 2 Darwins that were always together, eventually one of the Darwins paired with my regular Oscellaris, but there were no issues with 3 in my tank. The pair had a huge anemone, the little Darwin found a rose BTA and was happy. Then got a Lightning maroon that was given to me. That changed the tank dynamics but that was my first tank, I digress.
