6 gallon saltwater

[ravichr]

I'm sorry if this is a repetitive thread. My friend gave me a used 6 gallon saltwater tank which I intend to clean and use it for housing two nemo clowns. Will it be possible for me to have two nemo clowns there. What do I need to do.

no...too small. a pair of perculas will require at least ten gallons.

i say this with all due respect dude, you got a long way to go before you're going to get fish in their. A lot comes with saltwater that you'd never guess, just dig around on the internet.

yea 6 gallons wouldnt suite two of the nemo fish.

What you could do is buy a 10-20 gallon tank, and use the 6 as a qt. tank then use the bigger tank for your two percs

Clownfish can grow to 4 or 5 inches, and the real nice maroon clowns grow even larger. I've seen a single clown kept in a six before, but I'd advise against it... a 6 gallon will work for live rock and inverts and some smaller soft corals, as well as one small fish.
