Maroon Clownfish in 15 gallon?

[Reef Breeder 2013]

Look, I know that Maroons are big and aggressive, so I won't be putting any of these little bad boys in my 20 gallon tank. I'm planning on putting a 16 gallon tank (well, 60 liters) in with a Condy anemone soon, and from what I've read this is probably one of the best suited to the Condy. Yes, I know, you'll probably tell me that the Maroons are demons, and I completely believe you, but the thing here is that their companions will be Damsels. If a Maroon is not possible here, do you think a Sebae, Tomato or Clarkii would be an option? Oh, something I forgot to mention is that maybe, just maybe, I'll add 2 Mollys.

That pretty small for them, i would definitely get a different fish/clownfish. But…if you must have them it has to be a fish only tank. they will turn on every other fish in that tank, especially another damsel.

And that goes for all the other fish you mentioned.

Well I think it should be a tank with only fish and a Condy anemone.

Of course, the tank will have hiding places for the Damsels.

You won’t have enough hiding places in a 15-gallon tank. Even if you did, the fish will want to come out occasionally, and when it does, it will likely get attacked instantly.

In my 10 gallon tank I occasionally had a hard time finding my own shrimp or corals. Well, do you know of any small species of Clownfish or other fish that would house the Condies? Honestly, Condies are beautiful and I wouldn't want to be without mine.

Or wait, maybe an Ocellaris can host her?

I think a maroon will get to big for a 15 gallon tank. I also think most clownfish avoid condy nems so it could be hit or miss with any of your options. I'm sure someone else with more expertise will chime in.

I had a shipment of fish come in that was doubled by accident.
I had to place the extra maroons in small tanks with other fish.
We had to many inverts, so the condies went in with a few of the maroons
The next few days the maroons ate most of the other fishes
and then they ate the condies.

I think those were 20 gallons?

An ocellaris or percula clownfish could work, but most clownfish don’t typically host condylactis anemones. When they do, there’s a risk that the anemone might eat the clownfish.

The clownfish ate the condy? Usually i hear its the other way around.

I figure it might be able to enumerate the amount of dollars in sales we hobbyist's are spending?
