Which clown fish should I get?

[savethesharks]

I got a tall 30 gallon with a coral beauty already in there. I want to add add a pair of clowns, any suggestions?

Maroons are nice with yellow stripes, some have blue, and yellow stripes, but they are aggressive!

osc. clowns, no need for the $$$ ones.

Do you know if a pair of maroon clowns and a coral beauty will be to much of a bio load for a 30 gallon.

i would go with some black & whites...maroons are too agressive

iId avoid ephippiums, they are mean little b-tards

30 gal for maroons might be a bit small. i have a pair of black and whites and they are aggressive as well, so i wouldnt recommend them. i would consider picassos if you are willing to shell out some dough

 

[supmar85]

i agree picassos are great to look at!

black and white from morgan

black and white from morgan

Best suggestion yet! I have my tomato clown pair from Morgan and they were very very healthy when I got them.

Black and whites are very pretty and stand out! But for a small tank you want to go with the less aggressive like the percs, black and whites, clarkiis, maybe fire clowns (Tomatos with missing white bar), or maybe the naked clowns, or mis bar clowns?

Lot of decisions! GL! :fish:

I've got a pair of maroons in a 24. They killed my coral beauty after a couple years of peace. Now they are all alone. Maroons are mean little fellas! They would eat me given the opportunity.

black and white adds nice contrast to everything.

 

[savethesharks]

Alright thanks for the input on everything. I have decided to get a pair of black and whites. Earlier I was thinking the true perc. but I want a completely different color from the partial orange coral beauty. Another question - Does the orange face turn black as they get older, or do I need a certain type of B&W?

 

[EyeReef]

snowflakes or picassos are on list...but they are a lot of $$

 

[jamescobb22]

are there picaso black and whites? And how much does morgan sell a pair of black and whites?
