those fish sound cool
personally i'd go for the B&W clowns, lil bit more expensive but look SOOO much cooler! and if you can, get them wild, then in about 6 months get an anemone, bubble tips are best cos they host most clowns, and if the B&W is wild it will go into the anemone, if its tank bred then they dont know wat an anemone is, so therefore will only go in if your lucky!
but yeh DONT get an anemone untill your tank is atleast 6 months old, there so hard to keep otherwise!.
otherwisee that all sounds good
yeh im thinking of gettin a manderin, but how do you know your tank is ready?
i know they need copepods or something? but what do they look like? lols
well mandarins are tough but they are very very cool! if you got live sand and live rock you probably have some copepods but you will need more. lots of rockwork for them to play around in. when you have enough copepods u should see some white specs on the glass. just like anemones you should age your tank at least 6 months before you get one.
