Are flames typically hard to keep? I'm not really planning on having that many corals in my tank. Just enough colour to make it look good

J,
I think you might be better off getting 1 firefish. unless they are pair, when they become adults they will harass each other until one of them jumps or dies of stress. As for clowns... I've found that it is best to wait until you find THE PERFECT clowns that you want. Personality and color wise. You've said false percs, but I think if you enjoy clowns that host, perculas, in my experience are more likely to host. Also have really neat black patterns... As for the angels, I had a really great potters that didn't nip at anything until 2 years. Also had a flame angel that was an angel in one person's tank but an utter terror in mine....

I actually already have my clownfish. The LFS told me they were false, but I guess because they have hosted the anenome in my tank that they are true. They do have really neat patterns.
I was under the impression that you kind of had to buy fire fish in pairs. I was told that they would do better like that.

i've read that a mandarin in the wild needs like 2 acres to roam around and feed to keep it healthy (that is without a fresh supply of copepods added to the tank, which i think might be hard to do in edmonton)
if i can find the article i will post it. i can't find the article, but here is a neat think on mandarins.... http://www.melevsreef.com/mandarin_diner.html Last edited by Pan; 03-18-2006 at 08:03 PM.
