Clownfish choices??

[Fishhead Junkie]

Out of all the clownfish, which one would you say is the most calm and docile clownfish that will get along with other fish and take to a BTA??

Once I get rid of this horrible maroon clown, I'd still like to have 1 in my tank, just wonder what everyone suggests.

I guess I shouldn't of said get along with other fish AND take to the BTA...I could get by with the clownfish just getting along with the other fish. The anenome would just have to get by with being alone..or maybe I could grab an anenome crab or sexy shrimp or something to compliment it, but I've heard that 6-lines will kill shrimps...except for coral banded shrimp...nothing messes with my coral banded..not even the snowflake eel I used to have.

percula or pink skunks.... both are pretty docile

yeah..i had thought about a pink skunk clown...they are cool looking, but nothing says saltwater like a percula clown. i like when my kids friends come over and the first thing they do is run up to the tank and see all the fish they recognize from the movies.

percula, ocellaris, pink skunk, and I've also had very good luck with clarkii clowns, though they are more aggressive than the previous 3. Tank-bred specimens also tend to be calmer toward other fish in my experience.

My Rod Onyx clowns are very docile and love their BTA!

Wow the percs are so main steam and so overbread many dont even know what an anemone is for.

Get to mated or very small tomato clowns. Mine will host almost any coral.GL..

I have seen some Clarkiis kill everything in a tank!

IF you can find them Maldive clowns (also known as Blackfoot clowns, Rose skunk clowns) are very cool....They are timid though and take awhile for them to stabilize and get used to the surrondings.....I would get another pair of them again in a heartbeat....BUt right now I have some tank raised Black and White Occies on order....

Tank bred ocellaris, percula can display some aggressiveness especially wild caught ones. Both black and white ocellaris are almost always non-aggressive and will host in the anemone. Pink skunks are a 50/50 split, I've seen a lot of aggressive ones and a lot of peaceful ones, but it can be and usually is very hard to get them to host, you don't often see them going right into an anemone.

Also dont get a clarkii, IMO they are way to risky, you dont know what his motive will be. He will either get along with the others, or reak havoc on everyone!
