Best clowns for bubble tip

[firstallie]

I am looking for input on the best clowns to host a large green bubble tip 8" to 10 " in my 180. Also would a single be better or a mated pair? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

2 true percs

or if you have the money a pair of oynx clowns which run about $200 a pair

Ditto on the percs. And on the pair. They love to be kept in pairs. I don't think there's any real need to get a 'mated' pair. Just start with two small clowns, and they'll figure out who's going to be male and who's going to be female.

Often Tank Raised Clowns will not host anything so try to select ones that are all ready hosting in an anemone at the LFS if you can,

I love my Maroon Clown.

In my experience, the maroon clowns take to the bubble tip anemone immediately. Ours stayed in it, and at all the fish stores we go to, the maroon clowns are always hanging out in the bubble tip.
