What type of clown fish to get??
Ok so this marine aquarium expo is coming up soon and I figure I will get a pair of clowns while im there. My question to you is which type would you suggest to me??
I don't want a very aggressive pair but I do want to get a species that will pair up.. Please let me know what types you have found to be pleasant. Thanks!

I am not sure whether they pair well or not, but I put a pink skunk clown into our 28g tank just because it is so small.
It is supposed to be and acts like the least aggressive of the clowns and dutifully hosts and feeds the anenome.

I agree. These are the most mild mannered clowns I have kept.
I like Ocellaris as well, and have a pair now. They can get very mean with age though.

How about picasso clowns? Different but expensive. This is another ORA breed.
I just piced up some juvanile Onyx clowns for $15 ea. We had a local member that bred a lot of them and was selling them for much more. She off loaded I think like 100 clowns to a LFS and they are selling them cheap... |

I currently have a pair of Gold Bar Maroon clowns, the female is very mean, and 3 Ocellaris that have not decided which one will be the female yet. If I could get some others I would definitely look into the Onyx or Black and White clowns.
The picture of the Picasso is pretty cool.

A pair of snowcap clowns would be sweet. I"m also looking into naked clowns, I dont have any kids in the house so the nudity shouldnt be an issue  |
