I'm looking for a lower maintence tank, so I don't want many fish.
You can acclimate them to warmer temps but at higher temps they usually will only live for a few months

I can't believe that on a forum full of experienced reefers that the most popular choice here is still nemo.

Can't argue there.
I would just like to think that us reefers might base selection on other paramters than ease of care and overall non reefer entertainment factor.

To me ease of care is a big factor, being a full time student, and working full time, doesn't allow for to many fish with high care requirements. But that said, I personally like clownfish. Sure there are lots of other cool fish out there, but these were just the ones that I thought would do best in my tank.

I've been in the hobby for years and while I definitely like some of the more unique and rare fish, I still love clownfish.

I have a yellow candy hogfish, he's a swimmer, out and about, colorful and not too big. I also have 2 sets of clownfish, I'm still new in the hobby, but honestly can not imagine a tank without.
