Answer 1

Do you know what the water temperature should be?.....How much salt is needed in their water?.....If you can use regular aquarium gravel in their tank or if they need something special?.....Should you use live rock?.....What is live rock and what does it do for your tank?.....Do they need an anemone?.....If you get an anemone, what does it need to live?.....What do they (clownfish) eat?.....How often should you feed them?.....What is cycling in setting up a tank?.....What other fish can be kept with them?.....What pH they should have for their water?

Answer 2

Copperhead you beat me to it but anyway on to your question. Like everyone else has previously posted you need to do more research maybe hearing it from a good ammount of people will make you want to learn more on your own and possibly one day be able to successfully keep the clownfish you want ever so badly.

Answer 3

Ditto to EB. If you can't find the answer to your questions in this website: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/marine/index.htm
You aren't ready for saltwater. Copperhead will help you, but ultimatly you will be the one who has to do the work to figure it out. When your fish die, it won't be Copperhead's fault either, it will be yours for not putting forth the effort to learn it yourself.

Answer 4

why don't you email copperhead or read your previous answers to your question, you have posted now I think about 6 questions all around the same topic
If you don't like the answers you should the research on your own

But here is a website about them if that helps
