are clownfish personable?What Beth said
what other colorful fish then?Should be fine except no chromis. Chromis tend to pick each other off.
Start your research and you'll be able to decide what fish you want on your own. We can name dozens of colorful fish but until you do your research you won't know which ones are compatible with each other and what each one needed to thrive in a closed system. When I first started in this hobby some years ago I took six months to research which fish I wanted including their needs, who gets along with who, how much experience I needed to care for each fish. It was a long process of elimination till I narrowed it down to what I truly wanted and knew I could take care of. Then I took another six months to research what I needed to build my tank around their needs. Only then did I research what I needed to put that tank together and properly cycle it so that I suffered no losses. You have to understand that nothing good happens fast in this hobby. It took millions of years for the oceans ecosystem to balance itself so that it could support hundreds of thousands of different species so that they would not just survive but thrive as well. I'm sure you can be patient enough to take a few months to learn about this hobby before you just dive into it expecting good results. If you just jump in with both feet before finding all this out your just heading for a major disappointment. Go to the library and check out as many books as you can find on caring for marine life. There are many threads in this forum that can help you along with a lot of questions you may have.what other colorful fish then?

u know any personable puffer for a fifty gallon?I fed mine every day.
i have been nonstop researching. i am just gonna do the 29 fowlrJustin, I have one suggestion for you, research. There are many sites that sell fish look at a few, most of them tell you what size tank is needed to house them. I read in one of the threads someone said buy fish for the size of tank you have, don't plan on going larger plans change. If you don't have a tank yet. Then plan the fish you want and buy the tank to fit them, to full adult. I've doing this hobby for 34 years and i'm still learning.
