Are clownfish the best candidate for nearly any tank?

No, I am not saying. NEMO! NEMO! NEMO! It just seems as if they are really friendly, full of character, pretty hardy fish, nice looking, and are a no brainer if you have anemones. Is there a more popular fish?

I love the Mandarin Goby with it's beautiful colors but it tends to hide at first. But yes clowns are probably the most popular, easiest to maintain, and most fun to watch. Although you don't really need an anemone to keep them.

I like clowns not only for there striking color or vibrance, but because they can usually hold there own, they are not highly toxic if pushed around.. you get the drift. Plus they just look cool. Not trying to say they are the best fish ever here, just agreeing that you generally can't go wrong. I've got my eye's on gold maroons, but saw a awesome pair of cinnamon on sunday... ooooh so tempting.

They arent neccessarily the best fish but they do have a lot going for them as mentioned in previous post. What more can I say that hasnt already been said?

But really now...Whats a reef without a clown fish? Its kinda like sailing a boat with no wind....

Its just one of many great and colorful fish available to the hobbist!
