It's a possibility that they will fight. I bought my 2 at the same time. For the first 3 months they seemed to be getting along great with a fight every now and then. Now since one of them has outgrown the other, the larger one harrass the small one until it submits. No matter how much they fight, both of them sleep in the anemone together.

That is a BTA.

I am not familiar with the dottyback. No, I ordered the BTA online. If the clowns will be the first fish in the tank, get some small ones and introduce them both at the same time.
How much light do you have on your tank, how long has it been set up?

I am pretty sure I only have 17 watts of light, but I was planning on upgrading it within the next couple of weeks, possibly this weekend so I would be able to get an anemone, but from what I have been reading most of them if not all of them are not for beginners. The tank has been set up for about 3 and a half weeks, and I have been getting water checks and it has been fine.

And is there any other smaller beginner fish that will be good with them? I wanted to have the magenta dottyback, 2 ocellaris clownfish, or I dont even really know if I want two, will they be happpier if there were two of them? Also can an Ocellaris Clownfish go with a Maroon Clown fish or a Tomato Clownfish? I also was considering from this list of fish, now obviously I cant get all of them, but will anyone take a look and tell me which ones would be ok?

First off you're most likely going to need MH lighting, if i were you i wouldnt go cheap, it all pays for itslef in the long run! lol
Fish: I'd say that you would pretty much be stocked with (and thse are the fish i would have)
-2 ocellaris
-1 firefish
-yellow watchman
-1 sixline
You should get some cool shrimp too, like cleaners, they're awesome!
Good luck!
