anyone have/had clownfish?

easy or hard to care for?

do you mind keeping to one post about the same question????

sullybaby:what are you the owner of animalplanet.com??
What does it matter to you if i post a question twice?

no, im not claiming ownership of anything, im just saying it would be alot easier for all of us to keep track of the same discussion on one post. its too confusing to have a ton of posts asking the same thing.

sullybaby..will i NEED live rock for my 2 clownfish?

NEED it, not really, but it is better to have it for sea anenome's which they do need. they live in them in their natural environment. Im not sure if anenomes can attach to the sand or if they need to attach to rocks.

Clownfish are not that hard to keep, but I assume you want an anemone too. I wouldn't recommend that yet, since you were unsure about the purpose of live rock. Sound like you are just starting out with saltwater. You need to get something like a damsel first. Learn about what the anemone needs, kinds of lighting, current and water quality.

No,i dont want an anenome. I am just going to be keeping fake coral and plants in there. Im not quite ready for real plants and live rock..
Clownfish are fine with fake decor' right?

You do know they're saltwater fish right?

yes..im aware of that...

You can have fake stuff, but live rock isn't hard to use. It's about $5 or $6 a pound, and you can get it cured.

but i dont need it right?
Its quite expencive..
and i not sure where to buy it..

i cant see your post...

nervmind

OK,im getting livee rock! lol

clownfish don't need an anemone... and live rock is useful for biological filtration. anemones need very good lighting and water quality.

sclabman..
If i were to get live rock it would be at least $140.
Thats a lot.
Do i need to get it for 2 clownfish?
