View Full Version : RBTA and Clown fish in a FOWLR

Hubby has a 120 G reef that we're thinking of converting to a FOWLR. He'd like to get some pakistani butterfly and some angel fish. We've had a clown fish - our first fish - and her RBTA for almost three years, and we'd really like to keep them both. The clown fish is VERY protective of her anemone - will attack anything that comes near it - even me when I feed it.

Since she is so protective and quite large - 3" - do you think she'd keep the other fish away from her anemone? I don't want to see the amenone killed by other fish and I'm afraid the clown would freak if she didn't have her anemone.

Any thoughts/experience?

Thanks.

Cheryl

what kind of clown fish is it?

It's a maroon clown - about 3" long - very attached to her anemone. I have a feeling she'd nip at anything that came near it.

What do you think?
