Thank you for the tip. I'll look into buying some of the Ocelleris Clownfish

There are now Ocelleris Clownfish available on Saltwaterfish.com. They are not available at my local pet store either. Where could I find some Ocelleris Clowns?

No, I have not bought the tank yet, but I am trying to get as much info as early as I can so I can be prepared for what I need for the tank and other accesories.

Yes there are.

Ocelleris Clowns are often called Percula or False Percula. Look in the description.

Thanks for pointing out they were the Percula Clownfish. Those ones had been my favorite so far but I didn't know they were also called the Ocelleris Clownfish. If I decided to buy them off the site when my tank is ready, would it cause a great stress for them being shipped?

Do forum searches for swf.com order, or saltwaterfish.com.

Thanks! This website seems like a very reliable place to order from. And I have already learned so much from the message boards. If you have any other info that would help me to decide on what to get for my tank, just write it down. :happyfish

We were planning on a reef tank, but we haven't bought anything yet so our plans could change, but I really like the reef tanks. :happyfish :happyfish :happyfish :happyfish

We are just learning about Saltwater Aquariums, so should we start off with some Live Rock, Live Sand, and some fish and slowly work our way up to having a little Coral and then some more or start right off with Coral?

We were looking at a 55 gallon tank but they also had a 100 gallon tank. We haven't bought the tank yet, but what would be your opinion, the 55 or 100?
