Any personal experience with flake food? Since I travel a lot, I rely on my auto-feeder... So I need fish that eat flake food... If they do...

    Adding Fish Help

    Hi There, Thanks for responding, I have to admit though, I find it difficult to read your reply (especially since it is all in 1 large paragraph)!

    Will this Work?

    I had an idea: Could I put 1 anemone, with 2 clownfish at 1 side of the aquarium, and another anemone with another 2 clownfish at the other side of the tank?
