Clownfish are saltwater fish, and can be harder and more expensive to care for then freshwater fish. I suggest going with tropical freshwater fish. There are many b-e-a-utiful fish besides saltwater fish. Mostly, you have to reaserch how to set up a tank. A little advice: dont overcroud your tank, dont over feed your fish, and REASERCH, and talk to your local petstore! good luck

Make sure the rest of the fish at the pet store you're getting it from look healthy. Along with asking about how to take care of the fish form people that work there, research the type of fish you get on the internet to learn more about how to take care of it. That should do it

I am guessing u have a salt water tank? Live corals are good and plants. As far as fish, you should research before going to the store to buy fish.

Clown fish - marine
Clown Loach - tropical
both will set you back a fair bob or two
not to mention the upkeep and the tanks etc...

Before you purchase it, talk to the person at the pet store you are buying it from. And make sure you're buying it from a place where half of thier fish aren't on quaranteen or dead.

Agree with bettachick.
Clownfish are saltwater fish . Research before you go into anything.

with fish, it's pretty easy. Just remember to feed them and keep the tank clean.
