    K, so it's either a percula or a occelaris. We don't really need to know past that atm, and they can be a bit tough to ID sometimes, especially from pictures.

    If there's any clowns that can do a 14g BC, it would probably be those 2 species. I don't think I'd personally keep a pair in a 14g, but if there's no other fish, you might be ok with it due to their relatively inactive lifestyle.

    I'm gonna go against the grain and say it can work if the clowns both aren't females already.

    while that topic is still ongoing. can some one answer my original question? how can i add rocks to the biocube? i have rocks in the 12g nanocube, but i also have rocks in a rubbermaid trashcan from a 72g break down (the rocks were in saltwater but no heater to water movement in the last 2 months)

    smell the water if it still smells ok, take the rocks from the tub and put them in the nano cube.

    there will be a slight(I mean slight) smell with any live rock. they just shouldn't smell like dead stuff or rotten eggs
