    If I was only going to have 2 fish and they were clownfish I would score a pair of Clarkii Clowns. They are adorable but can get very aggressive. Black and Whites would be my second choice. Reasoning being: Tons of multi colored corals will make a sleek black and white fish stick out, and they are nice like occys or percs. Good luck!!

    I've seen "Caramel" clowns that are super cool, but I think they are really just juvi black and white clowns...

    Black and Whites will probably be what I go with. I have a couple weeks to make up my mind. The search is still on. ;D

    Check out sanjays photon clowns. they run about 120 for a pair though.

    Pink skunk clowns are small and definitely a different kind of clown.

    Maroon are nice, and you can find genetic variations, where the black and white are mixed up and out of order, for even cheaper than normal percs. I've gotten them for $17 before.

    They get HUGE! to big for a 20L a pair needs over 30 gallons full grown.They come in a normal color and yellow striped color, never heard of a black and white one, probably a occy.

    Only problem with maroons is they get big, about 6 inches. I do like that species, but I'm looking for smaller fish (<= 4").

    You could get a snowflake and an onyx. Mix it up a bit. Both are beautiful clowns.

    Snowflakes, Onyx, B/W, and if you budget is high enough you could get a pair of platinums.
