New anemone clown fish only tank.

[Boboe77]

Hello everyone,

I'm planning on buying a innovative marine 4 gallon tank and putting a innovative marine 8 watt LED skylight on top. I want to put a bubble tip anemone and a pair of clowns in it. I'll buy a cobalt aquatics Neo-Therm heater for it and also a JBJ ATO on it. Any tips one caring for the bubble tip anemone? Do you think this tank setup is good for a anemone and a pair of clowns? Thanks everyone!

Unfortunately, I think it's too small :(

Yeah...4 gallons I think will be too small also...
My one RBTA stretches to 16 inches across...
You could think about maxi mini carpets and get some sexy shrimp or a porcelain crab for it to host
or an LTA if you have previous saltwater experience as they are a harder anemone...

Agreed. I think a 4G tank with an anemone and a pair of clowns is much too small.

I think u can be ok with a 8 gallon for some time if u get some tiny clowns and a small anemone , keep in mind anemones will outgrow ur tank fast and also anemones need an established tank .

I'd say to get at least the inno 24g. If you're going to spend the $ at least get something that'll last longer than a few months. Depending on the type of clownfish you'll need something bigger than the 24g also. The bubbletip I have has tentacles 4-6 inches with a base that is only about 4 inches. Bubbletips can grow quickly and with a little more room you'll have a bigger area that the tentacles can move around without hitting a powerhead (if you add one). Do more research and make sure the tank is up and running for at least a month or 2 with fish staying alive before attempting to add the anemone. They're known for being harder to keep for a reason.
