My tank has finished its cycle and I'm looking at getting my first fish. It's a 240 gallon tank, eventually will be mixed reef. I also have a 40B QT. So I'm thinking of a pair of clowns for the first tenants. Thoughts? And any recommendations? The Oscellaris looks good - supposed to be hardy, and less aggressive. I'm sure I will be spending big $$ on fish and corals in the future, but I'm not sure I need expensive "designer" clowns, especially since (despite all my efforts), the first fish in the system may not survive. So I'm looking for something hardy, with personality, and that will hopefully hang out in some soft coral. (I'm still undecided about getting anemones - I don't want them moving where they're not wanted, nor do I want them breeding and taking over the tank.)
Would it be crazy to get a breeding pair for my first fish? I think that would go against what I said above, about avoiding something expensive.
Next question - where to buy the fish? I like the idea of captive-bred, and pre-quarantined would be a plus, although I'll probably quarantine them anyway.
