Clown question

[bellanavis]

I have a maroon clown fish, and I was wondering what kind of anemone to get for it?

i would suggest not getting any. in my opinion, if you have to ask what kind to get, then you are not ready to care for one. they aren't easy.

First of all what kind of lighting do you have? And how long has your tank been set up? There are some anemone's that are easier to care for than others. Maybe a bubble tip or Rose would be easier than a Ritteri. But I think either of those would do fine with the Maroon. I know some people will advise against it but I think it is up to you. But at least be sure to read up on them first ok. HTH

i agree with carsgirlsnfish... unless your experienced, which you might be, dont consider an anenome. but if your able to take on the task of caring for the anenome, get a bubble tip, i heard thats the only anenome they host

And alot of it will depend on the fish itself. You might not have any luck at all with it hosting to your clown. And I agree with everyone on reading up and asking more questions. They take pretty intense light and well established system. They require direct feeding and by the time you notice something is wrong with the little guy it is to late. There is very little to nothing you can do for a deteriating anem.

Ok, thanks for all the input. I don't know alot about them, thats why I was asking. I have been reading up on them, but it is always good to get other peoples opinion, at least I think so.
