Ricordea or Anemones?

[jrose40]

I have a 14 gallon nano and am putting two clown and was wondering should I go with ricordea or anemones?

A 14 gallon tank is too small for an anemone. If it dies it will kill everything in your tank. Go with the ric and maybe add some shrooms. Take your time.............

Shrooms can make u money xP or u can just bag it and put it on your neighbor lol

Common belief is that clowns need an anemone, which isnt true, they will host anything, maybe even your hand if you kept it in there for a month! :p
But i would go with rics too, mainly your tank isnt old enough, and probably will never be stable enough, because its size.
But rics come in cool colors my friend!

Yeah the ricordea's that the lfs sell down here are very colorful and cheap so thats what i was thinking.

Maybe, but it would have to be higher than halfway

Well on that note is the light in the Oceanic 14g enough?

You can do certain nems in a 14g, IMO. But, any of the ones that host clowns would get too big. You could try maxi-minis or rock flower anemones but, you shouldn't be putting them in such a new tank, so I'd start with the ricordeas and then later on down the road you could always try the nem.

 

[jrose40]

Well I think definately I will go with the ricordea's, can I also add a few mushrooms?

Maybe? o.o do i need to keep both of the light on?
