| Hi, and thanks for the reply. I found out that the tank is actually around 40 gallons, so do you think I could do maybe 2 pajama cardinalfish? Would clownfish still breed without an anemone, becuase I would like to try to get my clownfish to breed. I think I may hold off on anemone for a while if my clowns will be okay without it. I might try to get a cave or rock that could provide a good hiding place for them, but would the chalk basslet try to hide in that too because I have read they love to hide in caves and rocks?

No to the two cardinals...I wouldn't try that in under a 100g tank (saltwater fish are very territorial and don't generally like their own kind). Clownfish don't need an anemone by any means, and will even breed in a tank without one. They'll just host a flat rock or something and will breed there. Don't expect to save the fry if they breed in a community tank though...if you want to breed them, do it in a separate tank and then move the parents back to the main tank when the fry are free swimming. As for a cave, clowns are just not cave type fish. They like being out in the water column and will find a place to call home on their own.

Would a chalk basslet be good in this type of tank? Should I put in a veggie clip, also? Thanks.

I'm not familiar with that species, so I'll let someone else handle that question. From what I have read on it just now though, it sounds OK, but two clowns and one of those would just about fully stock your tank (maybe one more fish, but the less you have, the easier the tank will be to keep stable).
