Madarin Dragonet & Clowns

[jcg432]

I just got a Madarin Dragonet and would like him to be joined by a pair of clowns for my LTA.

Any suggestions on what type of clowns I should get to join him in his 1 1/2 Year established tank (50 Gallon Display Tank with 10 Gallon refugium and 10 Gallon sump).

What size tank?

What else do you have?

Filtration?

I would suggest sticking with the docile clowns such as Ocellaris or Percula variates. Mandarins are slow easy going methodical eaters and can be easily harassed by aggressive fish.

What other fish are in the tank now?

Right Now I have

Fish - 1 Mandarin Dragonet

Clean Up - 20 Snail, 1 Sand Sifting Star, 6 Blue Leg Hermit, 1 Long Spine Urchin

Corals - Finger Leather, Ricordia Mushrooms, Xenia, Green Star Polyps, Yellow Polyps

most any clown from the Amphiprion Genus should be fine in there. the Tomato and clarkii might be a tad too aggressive.

As Amp mentioned, Percula or Ocellaris woudl be great along with saddlebacks, pinks skunks, etc..
