I want to get a clown fish, an angelfish, and a turtle. Will they live together?

Question

I want to name the clown fish Nemo, the angelfish Dori, and the turtle Crash from finding Nemo. But I'm not sure if it's possible to live in the same tank or how high maintenance it would be, or even what kind of water to use, help please!

Answer 1

Lol this is a bit of a fantasy i think LOL

A clown fish is a marine fish so it needs a marine tank
An angel fish is a freshwater fish so it needs a freshwater tank
A turtle doesnt live in water all the time.. i dont really know much about turtles especialy what kind you want.

I dont even think you know about fish so just forget it i think, Just contine watching Finding nemo and in the meentime get a goldfish

Answer 2

An angelfish is a freshwater fish & most turtles are as well, a clown fish is a salt-water fish, so all of them could not go in the same tank together. The fish from Nemo named Dori is a salt-water fish, if you mean that fish instead of the general angel fish. A salt-water tank is harder to take care of, & starting a tank of fish (especially salt-water) can get expensive. Go into a pet store, see if they have all of the fish you want for a salt-water tank & ask about everything you'll need. Then you'll have an idea of the costs & the type of fish you can get.

Answer 3

You could keep a clown and tang (Dory is a blue or hippo tang, not an angel: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=330 ) together, but the aquatic turtles you buy in stores are for freshwater, not saltwater. Most of the saltwater turtles are endangered, and they'd grow to a size where you'd need a tank the size you see in public aquariums to keep them. As it is, a blue tang needs a 75-90 gallon tank as an adult. A pair of clowns can be kept on a 20-30 gallon tank, depending on which species you would get ("Nemo" types are ocellaris or percula clowns).

Before you decide to get these, it would be a good idea for you to do a little research on what's needed for keeping saltwater fish. The maintenance doesn't have to be a lot harder than keeping freshwater (if done properly), but the fish are generally more intolerant of poor water quality and are more aggressive and territorial than their freshwater counterparts, plus more expensive. So it would be a good idea to see what you're getting into before you start buying fish and equipment that aren't appropriate.

It might be a better idea to get a clown (or a pair) to start, then use the tank decorations or background to represent the others.

Answer 4

All I know is that the turtle will try to eat the fish. In principle they can live together I think (nort sure) but if the fish gets slow for some reason, the turtle has a meal.... My dad had some fish once with the turtles. Until the power went out... water went cold, fish went slow, turtle had big fat expensive meal...

Answer 5

Angelsfish & The clown fish in that movie are salt water fish. You will not find a turtle that can live in that tank.

Good luck

Answer 6

The clown fish lives on Coral reefs in salt water while the turtle and angel fish live in freshwater

Answer 7

You'd be setting up a large saltwater tank so it's a bit of work since you'll need to have a skimmer and sufficient current, have to acquire food all would eat (probably not dried food, maybe frozen and definitely live). You'd need anemones and probably coral (with micro foods for them), plus marine plants like kelp. You'll need to keep the salinity stable, as well as the pH and everything else since you'd have a lot of different lifeforms that needed to their special vitamin/mineral recipes to live in. The turtle would have to be a saltwater turtle which, I'm not sure though, may be a protected species. If it lives in a tank, it'd grow fairly fast and need a bigger and bigger and bigger tank. I've been keeping tropical fish all my life (and my father before me) and we've always stuck with freshwater tanks because the saltwater ones do involve more work then I have time for in my life.

Answer 8

You can get the anglefish and he clown fish but unfortunatly not the turtle. The turtle will require too much money and effort into it, and there is a possibility he will eat the fish ;[
If you do end up getting an anglefish make sure the type of clownfish and them will get along first.
hope it helped!
GOOD LUCK~~! ;]

Answer 9

Clownfish are marine, Angelfish are freshwater, and turtles will eat both of them!

Not a good idea!

Answer 10

They are likely to fight unless the tank is huge. They can be kept in a pair with another of the same species, but not with other random clown fish. Ian
