Allard's Clownfish-Amphiprion Allardi

[lizbeth]

I local hole in the wall fish store has one in a tank with a bunch of damsels. The Allardi was king of the tank! I've done some research and as always the info varies. Size says 3 to 6 inches?, agressive.....not agressive(this one seems bossy!).

I was going to get a damsel after my nano cycles, I've always wanted one and I figure since I can only have one fish aggression wouldn't be a problem. This little clown may have changed my mind. I'd like to go buy him if he would work out and have them hold him till my cycle is finished. My tank is a 5.5 gallon(now doing the cycling), I'm setting up a 20 in the next few months.

Can be very aggressive. Remember that they are cousins to damsels.
