You're worried that they'll produce too many fish? Don't worry, if they start spawning the young will only survive if you take some pretty extraordinary efforts to raise them.

By "chocolate" do you mean the black & white ocellaris? If so, then yes they pair up just like any other ocellaris clowns - just make sure the new guy is smaller/a juvenile and you should be fine. I have the exact same combination :)

What are the dimensions of the tank?

Great picture! Right now I'm trying to deal with my RBTA deciding to move INTO the torch... my clownfish is much more thrilled than I am....

it's on the gravel? like on the bottom? usually they prefer to plant themselves into a crevice in your rocks.

My maroon did the same thing - I wasn't sure whether the anemone was just deflated as part of acclimating to the tank or if it was unhappy about all the clownfish "attention". What I did was make a little "cage" out of eggcrate to enclose the anemone and keep the clown out for a while. It gave...

Originally posted by angiguider :notsure: Females will never change into males????? From what I have read, the largest of the percs will take on the role of female.....so does that mean if a larger perc is added to the tank, it will naturally be female, but the original female will remain...

Is it possible that it is just deflating? Mine seems to do that about once a week - scared the heck out of me the first time...usually in an hour or so it looks better.

Well, tuningvis and bigarn have hinted, but I'll just say it: exactly how does one assemble little PVC parts to make a skimmer? Is there a "skimmers for dummies" book I should be reading? You see, I'm a woman for whom a DIY project is putting nail polish on at home instead of going to a Nail...

Come to think of it....how on earth did you fit that many VHO bulbs over a 10 g tank??:thinking:

well, with all that light you've got you could probably have a nice little ivy plant growing in the vicinity.... pics! we want pics!!!

If you read the sticky at the top of this page, it will tell you all the types of anemones and which clownfish are naturally symbiotic with them. A BTA is a good choice for a maroon clown, if your tank is mature enough and has enough light. I have a tank raised maroon and had no trouble...

"The skimmer is a DIY made from leftover PVC pieces and a Sponge Bob air pump" personally, I'm waiting with bated breath for the details on this skimmer:D

Well, I honestly don't think you'll be able to keep your water quality high enough ina 10g for any anemone, including a BTA, unless you have some kind of sump to increase your water volume. Just my opinion

Scuba, your profile says you also have a 29g - is that one set up for saltwater?

My tank is a standard 10 gallon: 20 inches long. That's how long the coralife fixture is. You can also buy plastic "legs" for it to make it sit higher up off the water surface and also make the length slightly adjustable.

On my 29 I have 225 watts of VHO - set up specifically with an anemone in mind.

there's a light that fits over 10 gallon tanks called the Coralife 96 watt quad.... do a web search on it, you'll find lots of suppliers.

Well, not every clown brings food to its anemone either, at least mine sure doesn't. The anemone gets a little "snack" every night when I feed the tank mysis, and I've started to give a slightly bigger piece of shrimp, etc a couple times a week.
