clownfish system

[Flowerkid]

I know that in my marine aquarium that i want to have two pairs of Ocellaris clownfishes and i know that all clownfish dont like the same anemone. So i was wondering what is compatable with my clownfishes. Also what invertebrates are compatable with them. I have a 29g would i be able to have any more fish? i think this is in the wrong forum please direct it if necessary
Thanks

Umm what kind of clownfish

4 clown fish in a 29 seems kind of like a lot. they fight sometimes. you could do one pair if they are mated. not all clowns will live in an anemone. they refuse some just because they feel like it.

P.S. did you read Kevin's sticky on anemones?

I kniw they enjoy carpet anenomes(spl.) but that is all I know about them sorry.

Some A. ocellaris will go into bubble tip anemones. Just make sure you can support the anemone before you think about buying it.

Also along with what kevin said, Im not sure that in a 29G I would try to house 2 pairs of Clowns. Clowns will either pair or fight till the death. I bought 2 clowns that shared the same tank at my LFS for about a week and never had an aggression issue. No one had even a nick out of their fins. I brought them home and in a week one was dead. Not to mention that a pair of clowns becomes VERY territorial. Its not just the Anenome that they claim, they claim space too. IMO you do not have room for 2 pair of clowns. One yes but not two. I would do 1 pair pf clowns and a Lawnmower and maybe some sort of Gobie. Just keep in mind that stocking a SW tank is totally different than a FW tank.

also a carpet is a bad idea in a 29, clowns will host in almost anything, from multiple kinds of corals to even a garden flower pot....I suggest that you dont go the route of an anemone until you have a significant amount of experience under your belt.

29 too small for two pairs. I tihnk you need to research a bit more first
