Amphiprion clarkii has even been known to bark.
Reefrunner, can you elaborate on this, please? what, exactly, do you mean by bark?

Just wondering if clowns can do well in a 72gl bowfront fowlr
Yep they should do fine, provided the tank is properly cared for and not overstocked or stocked with fish that will eat them

Also, what are the least agressive clowns?
IMO, Pink skunk clowns (Amphiprion perideraion ) are the least aggressive.

Very common in mated clownes. Many species will do it. The first time my pink skunks did it I thought there was a new "creature" luking in the tank... :P

Cheers

My maroon clown and the yellow tang i had used to always stay right around each other. If one went away the other was right behind. Ive never seen or heard of this before.

Actually, I think you will find that skunk clowns are the least aggressive and most docile of the clowns.

fishtender has fishy dreams
My saddleback was one of the first fish I put in my tank. He has gone through bonding with two condi"s (both of which have passed. [acronym:f67b77afc4="In my opinion"]IMO[/acronym:f67b77afc4], [acronym:f67b77afc4="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:f67b77afc4] should not sell them. Their mortality rate in captivity is way too high!) He then bonded with of all things my feather duster. The duster liked it, he never dove for cover. Then I added a very sexy flower anemone, all green, white, frilly and soft. My clown threw over the feather in hopes of winning the heart of the flower. After many repeated attempts and many stings later, he now rubs and nestles with the beautiful flower all day and night. It was interesting to see the symbiosis develope between a bonding fish and an caribbean anemone that would in nature never even see a clownfish.
