clown fish have many types. Some hardy and some not. At the moment they are not tank raised in Singapore nor any part of Asia yet. Most clown fish needs Anemone in order to survive. Anemone gives these easy frightened fish a secure home. Damsels are territorial but if your clownfish are in the Anemone, they are safe. The big problem is Anemone are very sensitive to water quality and will only let 1-2 clownfish to stay there. If too much Anemone-staying fish crowded around it, then u will have to say bye bye to ur Anemone later. Its hard to feed Anemone and most types will eat up your little shrimps. If you really want to have clownfishes, try buying a school so they feel more secure but your tank is too crowded hence will destroy everything if you do so. BTW local fish shops always tell people marines are easy and fishes are easily kept. But all that are liars as they do want to make business too. So we can actually blame them. If you always hang around these LFS, u will notice that they have hard times stabilizing too. If your clownfish is saved by them , yes possible. I can do that for you too, hehe. Just place them into a very nice place full of anemones, corals, .... and later your clown fish will be in superb condition. Main issue is what if you bring back and happenes again? You have to find out what happened at your tank in order to solve all your problems.

I am actually considering to get a chileer but thats too expensive for me as in the market there are lots of cheaper ones.

Can I come over to ur place to take a look? BTW I am setting up a new marine tank and sump so need to survey on this critical pump too.
