Would a 35 gallon be good enough for a barbouri seahorse?

okay thxs and ya i was wondering about the clowns because i have one right now and it looks kinda like a maroon clown but with more orange colour instead of the purple and for stripes there not really yellow there more white!

maroons are known for agressiveness...be careful...

i'll post a picture, im not sure what type he is lol!

White striped maroon. Very aggressive (will bite you!)

oh really? i have never seen mine bite and its in there with a hippo tang, but then again the hippo tang is the alpha of the tank, so I see now, also mine isnt really aggressive towards the other fish? and when its feeding (it eats shrimp and bloodworms) anyways when its feeding it doesnt eat very fast it usually waits for the hippo tang to finsish first?

They are among the most aggressive clown species. Especially if they pair up. I've lost several corals because my big female (before i got rid of her) could pick up a 12 head frogspawn colony & chuck it into the sand, killing a couple heads each time.

They're smart enough not to pick on the alpha fish (ie. your Hippo) but towards something as slow & harmless as a seahorse, I wouldn't trust it. Could work, but I limited my clownfish/seahorse combos to Ocellaris or Percula. Skunk clowns would also be fine.

mk thxs i'll be sure too sell it! i love him though so i'll need to find the best home as possible! also does that mean its a rare clownfish?

The hippo would not be ok with seahorses!
