Which clownfish to get?

[hefner413]

I'm working on stocking my 180. I would like to add 2-3 clownfish. I was initially going to get some simple false perculas, but then I started thinking about the other options. Specifically, I'm thinking of getting either a Snowflake or a Black Ice Snowflake pair / trio.

I also plan to get a nice BTA or other anemone for them to host... Rec's on a long tip vs bta, etc?

Any thoughts / recommendations?

Thanks! Hef

tomato and maroon are the most aggressive and should be added later. any trio will most likely end up as a pair. two will pair up and kill the other.

Agreed. A pair is the way to go. Maroons are nice looking and get big but pairing them is tough bc they are aggressive w each other. I have a maroon, 2 orange occ and 2 black occ. All in diff tanks. As far as aggressive the 2 blacks are the most lol I ve had them a wk. I put a new piece of lr in the tank yest and the little buggers bite me the whole time my hand was in the tank. In my experience this is the exception tho, so if u want a pair go w perc or occ clowns
