common name:clownfish
scientific name:Amphiprion and Premnas (anemonefishes)
size:some up to 5"
Origin:Indo-Pacific
Tank setup:they do well in a 20g but have been kept in 10g
Compatibility:peaceful and does well with other community fish
Temperature:75-79 degrees
Water chemistry:salt wtaer
Feeding:flakes and pellets
Sexing:females are larger than males (by almost 2")

the clownfish family contians 27 species
ocellaris(percula) being the most popular and available at almost all petstores

the clownfish is a very beatiful and hardy saltwater fish and great for beginners.they do very well in a home aquaruim and are very peaceful.they do not need a anemone to survive.and i would suggest not getting one for three reasons
1.they are very delicate and should only be kept by experienced hobbyist.
2.they are piosonous to other fish
3.they have a slow reproductive rate and takes many years for a colony to get back to normal in the wild.

breeding:
they were the first saltwater fish to be breeding in captivity
they can be bred in a 10g tank
the male cleans the area and the feamle will lay there eggs for the male to fertilize them

Maroon clowns can be very territorial/aggressive towards other fish
75 is much too low IMO, I dont like my tank dropping below 80, especially if you have corals.
they cant be sexed until they breed since they can change sex, meaning size isnt relative to anything.

Yes check out the salt fourum theres a thread that andrew created and is pinned.
If you need some more info check out wet web media's salt setup section.
If you have some more questions ask away in the salt fourum.
