[jack-a-be]

my daughter would like to set up a saltwater tank in her room she has a 5 gal tank. if i were to do this what fish are good in that small of a tank? she wants a clown fish? and maybe one cleaner small fish? any ideas or if i should even do this?

Do a 12-gallon,there cheap,you could keep 2 clownfish an and anemone easily,and you could actually have fish lol

I'm only 11 and I love mine can't wait for the 125 i'm getting in July

if you want one that badly and wanna make the size mininum do a 7-gall

I'd wait for a few more opinions before making a decision, but a lot of people on here will say if you want fish you should have a 20g tank minimum. My clowns swim the entire lenght of my 55 g so that's 4 feet that they traverse back and forth.

GARNET DON"T BE RIDICOULES!!!!!So many people do just fine putting them in 10-20gal Aquariums I never heard of a clownfish being crammed

seattle good for you 125 gal. wow is this in your room? do you do this hobby with no help. water changes testing water everything. i am 33 and i need all the help i can get

she has a freshwater now and not have any luck with the fish. go figure i can keep my 75 gal saltwater just fine but have no luck with a 5 gal freshwater

lol. i may just invest a little more and let her have the saltwater. at least we can keep those alive
thank you

Same problem,my fresh water is a dump and my freinds even spilled pepsi in it :hilarious And my kissing Gourmais and Catfish were still healthy! :hilarious...
I have my dad help me sometimes and I always have acess to this place called Sharkreef for help.
I have my ways of fitting the tank in my room :joy:
EDIT:Thats weird,the first part got spaced
