Is it a good and possible way to keep two percula clowns in a 10 gal. tank, with live sand and liver rock? Is this good for a beginner SW aquarist?
Im thinking?

thought there is no official (and dreadfully abused) "____ per gallon" rule that i'm aware of, i believe that the two fish may be too much for a ten gallon tank.
I may be wrong, but isnt it better to play it safe instead of borderline os??
you have not posted how much live sand and live rock you plan to encorporate in your tank. it is very important. i would suggest 10-20 pounds of live rock and at least 2" or so of live sand.
Good luck with your tank! Black_Wolf :dive2:

I would go with one ocellaris clown (they stay smaller and are very hardy) and a yellow watchman goby....great fish!

I sucessfully kept a clown, small blue tang and lawnmower blennie, with 2 shrimp, crabs, snails and a sand sifting star in a 10 gal for over 6 months till I upgraded to my 35 hex which will soon move into the 72 bow front I have started. Just get a good skimmer and if you have the lighting grow some xenia as it will consume nutrients. DO YOUR WEEKLY WATER CHANGE, I did 2 gal a week.
