10 gallon clown fish tank?

[Dylan5359]

1-2 inches? That sounds big to me, when I finally find a nice true perc clown I'm hoping for under an inch!

Isn't there a slight size difference with percula and occellaris ?

i said yellow clown because i know my LFS gets a regular supply of those

 

[Swimzebras]

Not a big size difference I thought

Liveaquaria says oc's get to 3.5", and percs to only 3"

Not sure what part that plays in juvie size though

 

[Swimzebras]

Huh. I'd keep our rule but maybe go for under two inches to be safe. Like I said, small as you can get

 

[JOMA]

occellaris are the "fake" ones?

 

[Swimzebras]

Yes

 

[JOMA]

i actually like the colors better (google images) and arent they cheaper?

 

[Swimzebras]

Yes and i totally agree that they look better

 

[JOMA]

im watching finding nemo and i think they are ocellaris clownfish loll

 

[Swimzebras]

I believe u are right

 

[JOMA]

well i hope to start buying the stuff for the tank this weekend! im gonna buy in like wavesish lol

 

[Swimzebras]

Sounds good! Just be careful and DON'T RUSH IT!!!!!

 

[iDream]

Yep, Nemo and his father and whatnot are ocellaris or false perculas. I'm a perc guy because of the extra black it just looks awesome to me.

And yeah I know you're limited on budget, and a 10G tank from walmart is like $15 including tax

 

[JOMA]

i know. which sucks but i dont want to waste any money, saltwater fish are expensive (compared to my usual fw)

 

[Swimzebras]

Ain't no bargain

 

[iDream]

Definitely true, the cheapest SW fish I know are damsels, around here for like $4. Whereas you could buy neons or guppies for a buck + change

 

[Swimzebras]

Yea, scary transition. Pressures on!

i wanna get the tank, salt, and another light (just one to start with) this weekend. i already have a canopy that takes 2 screw in bulbs and a 50 AC HOB

 

[iDream]

Sounds like a great start. For a nice reef light later on look into the Current USA Nova Extreme, it's a nice 2-bulb T5HO fixture to support almost whatever you'd like!
