I started a small 10gallon tank about 3 months ago. I didn't want to get a big one bacause we are in the military and you never know when you are going to move.
so my question...
I have 2 Percula Clownfish that I got when I started my tank. and last week just on the spur of the moment i bought a Condi Anemone. I have heard that the some clown fish will just start swimming in the Anemone the day they are put in the tank. I got mine on sunday (3/12/06) and they won't even go near it. Is that the wrong Anemone for them or what???
Thanks for the help

Florida Condis are not known as hosting anemones and can end up causing more harm than good for your fish and or corals. IMO you shouldnt be trying to keep an Anemone in a 10 gallon tank. If the anemone dies everything goes with it..... and if something else dies chances are the anemone will go with it if it causes spikes. Florida Condis also get pretty large and have a tendancy to move around quite a bit. Hope this helps.
**IF** I were to put a anemone in a 10 gallon it would probably be a Bubble Tip
