    He is cute but putting him with my two would probably start a war that he would lose to.

    Cool fish! Anyway, here's what I think... First, get a job ;D Then, buy a 30 gallon, an anemone, some rock, a good light and powerhead. Nothing more. You don't need it. You'd be amazed how endlessly fascinating, one Maroon clownfish, with an anemone can be!

    Perfect, I think the legal working age is 14; your all set! Oh, or just do what other kids do, beg their closest relatives ;)

    really don't recommend anemone, just for a clownfish. A anemone is muuuuuuch harder to care for then a clownfish. it makes no sense to get one unless you specifically want one badly. The clown doesn't need it.

    True, I had a black and white ocellaris in a frogspawn for many years. Should really say anemone or surogate. LTAs aren't bad though, actually IME, I've found them to be easier than some soft or even LPS corals.

    SaltwaterGuy, I sympathize, where there's a will, there's a way though. A 10g is a good tank though, you can do a lot with it. Maybe you can trade the Maroon for an Ocellaris. The Maroon should be worth more though. Edit: even if acting a bit strangely, seems healthy no?

    yeah the maroon eats but he just stays in 1 spot really. as for me trading it for an ocellaris the ocellaris might be cramped in a 10 gallon, and for that not to happen he'd probably have to be the only fish in there so thats kind of out
