I really want a display fish something a little bit big ~5" and not shy. I was thinking about the Maroon clownfish but it seems the Maroons are angry aggressive fish and most of the owners do not recommend.

Also the Angle fishes are not reef safe so I really dont know what would be a option

Dwarf only. Anything bigger and you are unnecessarily stressing the fish, for one.


Also... I had a dwarf in a 20 Gallon and it was a chore. Mine would not take to frozen so I was constantly feeding live shrimp. I recommend that if you want one... find one already trained on frozen because if the LFS is feeding live.... it will probably only eat live.

Third.... keep it and only it. It is really cool all by itself and can have great personality.
