    That looks amazing! But I'm not sure about spendin 50$ for one fish... well, as m y status as beginner. So do you have any other fish with the clowns? And what size tank do you heve? Thanks!

    both those were $20 at my LFS.;)

    I have a 55g, with a YT(I know), a chromis, a mandarin, a bicolor dottyback, 2 pajama cardinals and a bengaii. Overstocked!! But they will be moving to a 90g next week;)

    Ohh don't get me wrong, I love the black clowns. But my tank has a black background so they wouldn't be the best choice for me.
