Owning and Caring for Clowns

[vpotts28]

Is there an archive thread about owning and caring for clowns? If there is I could not find it. The QT is cycling and my dt is already finished. I want to get a pair of clowns (not sure what kind yet) and want to make sure I give them the proper set up to live a long life. TIA

clowns are probably THE easiest of fish other than damsels to get. I have ocellaris clowns, simply because i got the "nemo" syndrom from my wife. There are some meaner clowns, such as maroons. Some people don't like it, but i LOVE scott michael's pocket guide to reef safe fish (it has a blue cover, not the white one). it explains over 500 species of fish. you may want to grab a copy if you have an extra $25.

I have seen that book at every LFS I have been in. Must be a bible of sorts. I think I will pick one up now
