Whats the difference between a tropical fish and a salt water fish?
Techinically the difference between tropical and OTHER fish is fish originating between the tropic of capricorn and the tropic of cancer are classified as TROPICAL Not true. I think what you are saying is what is the difference between fresh water and salt water. One is fresh and one is salt however there are warm water salt and cold water salt just as there are cold water fresh and cold water fresh. Clowns are salt warmer water but can survive in cooler water 24 gallon you can keep 5 clowns + Yes it will need a heater for the most part. It is a salt water fish. Tank needs up and running cycled preferably however clowns are damsels and are fine in the cycling process You will need a full salt tank heater no skimmer is really needed You can successfully house two in a 10 if you are cautious. still need a heater. I raise allardi clowns. (not clarkki) They are great fish and easy to care for.
