O. Clown

[Oceanicsublimat]

I was wanting to get another fish that has some color, since I only have a lawnmower and a scooter, and was thinking about getting an o. clown. The problem is that I have quite a few aiptasia that I'm tryin to get rid of. Would it be a problem to get a clown and a sebae or some other anemone for the clown since I have all this aiptasia?

The Ocellaris would be a fine addition (preferabley a pair) but your tank is far too young or the addition of a hosting anemone species. The clowns have no real need for it and the anemone has no need of them. Mabye a year down the road you could consider an anemone (your light depending) but not now.

gonna trade it in for something else..I kinda want more color in the tank since I can only have about 10" of fish, plus he is a eatin' machine..I feed him mysis shrimp 2 times a day and he still forages all day.. I just want all the other little critters to reproduce. ie. worms, pods, etc...although I believe I have alot of pods.. see em scurrying around at night..and there are babies galore in my sump..
