I have always liked Clownfish (Ocellarus). So, they will be the first
fish in the tank. I'm thinking I should get 5 of the largest Clownfish
I can find. This way, they can stand up to future additions. Don't
you think I should use an odd number?

Be careful with clowns, unless you have more anemones; they can become
VERY territorial. You should add more anemones than clowns.


Probably best to get only two juvenile clowns. All clowns are male as
juveniles and the more dominant will change into a female with the next
dominant male being the partner and "female in waiting". If you have more
than this, they will pester the least dominant until it dies and work their
way up until only the two strongest survive.
