I have 60 gall. tank and i was thinking about stocking it with
: Tomato Clowns
: Lemonpeel Angels
: Dwarf Flame Angels
: Porcupine Puffer (Named Jaba The Puff)
: A Bubble Tip Anenome ( For The Clowns)
If there are any problems with this list or additions you would suggest plz say say so. I also don't know how many of each fish i should put in.

I assume you mean just one each of the Angels. IMO, two dwarf Angels will not tolerate each other in a 60 gal tank, a 60 is way too small for a porcupine puffer--they get huge. there are lots of smaller puffers that you might like. Anemones are very difficult to keep, defiantly not a beginners critter. Clowns don't need them to thrive; in fact, most of the tank-bred clowns on the market won't host one at all. A pair of clowns, one of the Angels, and a small puffer should work. As to the question "how many of each...": The vast majority of SW fish are strictly one to a tank, unless you have a mated pair. Next time you're in your LFS, notice that they never keep more than one of the same species together. There are exceptions, like juvi clowns, but not many.

I would agree with srfish that only one dwarf angel should be in the tank. Also, I would only put one clown in.
Mix up your stocklist. Maybe add a wrasse, goby or blenny.

You can try two clowns, by them together pick a big one and a small one. I have done this twice now and it has worked both times. My Ocellaris have been together for 1 1/2 years now with no problems.

Still trying to figure that out can u help

If you're really new to SW; I'd wait a while before you buy an anemone. Do lots of research and perfect your husbandry skills on easier animals first. . Just my two-cents.

I would a get a wild clarkii clowns and a long tip anemone both strong creatures just do ur water changes EVERY 2 Weeks
