Well my 30 gallon is coming along nicely.

Ive added 2 clownfish (which are still quite small) and just last week i added a pyjama (6 line) wrasse.

Id like to add an anenome for the clownfish (not sure they will take to it but i love anenomes anyway) but Ive been told by the local fish store the anenome will eat bottom dwelling fish like gobies etc, is this likely?

Id like to add at least a dwarf angel, and a cleaner shrimp, but would i get away with another fish like a gobie/blennie anyway?

Thanks a lot.

Do you have enough light for an anenome? Even the ones that don't need much light would need at least 120 watts of light or thereabouts in you tank. The more light intensive ones would need more like 240 watts.

Anenomes will eat whatever lets them eat it. This generally does not include a lot of healthy gobies, I don't think. However, in tight confines a goby may not be able to stay far enough away from an anenome to stay off the menu and many anenomes reach 1-2 feet in diameter.

You have 3 fish in a 30 gallon... A dwarf angel would probably not be happy being added to that setup and I suspect it would fight with the clowns for territory. A goby and a cleaner would probably be fine, but I wouldn't add an angel to that system.
