75-Gallon Peaceful Aquarium—Western Pacific
From Microcosm Aquarium Explorer
[edit] A Model Marine Aquarium
The tiny Unarmed Perchlet pair should be provided with suitable hiding places, while the clownfish can be kept with a host sea anemone, if the tank has strong lighting and water movement.
Add two small, captive-raised clownfish. The Bubble-tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) is a hardy species (if fed daily with meaty foods such as mysid shrimp) and is universally accepted by most clownfish species.
Try to buy both captive-reared clowns and anemone.
The blenny and butterflyfish add color and movement to the scene.
