If you decide to keep an anemone you should make sure its special needs are met. Otherwise they live perfectly well in a saltwater aquarium making their home wherever they feel most comfortable.

Captive Bred Clownfish have never known anything but aquarium life. Capitive Bred come from many sources but they all have one thing in common. They are already accustomed to life in a tank environment and therefore easily acclimate to any home aquarium. They also have virtually no shipping stress. A short shipping time ensures low stress during transport. In contrast, most wild collected experience long transit times from place of origin to a wholesalers tank. Captive Bred are not subject to the disease and parasite possibilities often found in ocean fish. They are also "People Friendly". They associate people with food, which means they come up to the glass to beg for food rather than hiding in the presence of people. Captive Bred also eat a better diet. They are conditioned to eat a variety of food including flakes, pellets and frozen foods. They eat almost any aquarium diet you offer them. They are far less aggressive than ocean collected. For example, several captive raised false percula's (Ocellaris) will peacefully live together in the same tank. Its wild ocean counterpart though can only be kept 1 in the tank, or you need to purchase a Wild Male / Female pair for them to get along and not beat each other up. Finally when you purchase Captive Bred fish you can be assured that your fish if properly taken care of, can live for many many years. Did you know that a captive bred clownfish in captivity can survive for up to 30 years?
