20 gallon Saltwater tank??? Clownfish?

This is my first time with saltwater. I Have a 20 gallon high tank. I have been doing some research and figured out what I would like to have. My list would be:

2 ocellaris Clownfish

1 Clown Green goby

1 or 2 firefish

3 Dwarf Zebra hemit crabs

That is what I would like to have. I know about water conditions also. Thanks

    i would start with a bigger tank. length is far more important than height. as salt water fish are more territorial than fresh water. remember that less than a month before you buy a fish it was in the ocean defending its corner of the reef from thousands of neighbors. do some reasearch and start bigger. you can look at it this way. if you cant afford a 55 gallon tank you really cant afford this hobby. sounds bad butit is a good gauge of what to expect.

    excess of stocked!!!!!!. A tank that small will be torture to keep song of as a salt water tank.. Get a pair of clown fish in a 30 gallon. once you do not have any adventure with setting up salt water tanks, locate someone who does. It expenses a lot, and isn't any longer hardship-free to do. reliable success!

    Way over stocked!!!!!!. A tank that small would be torture to keep track of as a salt water tank.. Get a pair of clown fish in a 30 gallon. If you have no experience with setting up salt water tanks, find someone who does. It costs a lot, and isn't easy to do. Good luck!

    Source(s): Done months of research, and in the spring, getting 2 clown fish in a long 30 gallon tank.
