I guess it depends on how deep in the hobby you are currently AND how fast you want to move. You can buy proven pairs of clownfish. It might take them awhile to settle in your tank but it'll happen. The clown breeding will take way more time and effort. Nems could be as easy as finding them, propagating (preferably this happens naturally), and selling the babies.

@bensnems4019
3 жыл бұрын
Great question. So yes you are correct when people say you shouldn't keep certain nems together. Mainly wilds vs aquacultured. They have been known to have chemical warfare with each resulting in one or more melting away. The nems I have mixed together have all been aquacultured locally or in house. Lastly running carbon is said to help any issues. I run big carbon reactors.
@jasonlazore497
3 жыл бұрын
Ben is right when it comes to keeping anemones of different cultures. Wilds don't always fair to well in captivity versus aquacultured anemones, as wilds have a higher mortality rate than an aquacultured anemone. One thing to look at when purchasing an anemone from a lfs is the mouth,if it's gapping and shriveled looking don't buy it as it's not healthy. Another thing to look at if possible is the foot if it appears torn it's not worth buying.
