I appreciate your positive energy and interest in the hobby. I'd like to be balanced with my response to your question. I'm hopeful that you will continue to puruse your interests, explore the hobby, and see how fun it can be. A word of caution, however, on the size of the tank and the number of fish you are interested in. While it is possible to have essentially 'any' size tank, a 5 gallon tank may not be ideally suited for a beginner. Remember that the smaller the tank, the more important it is to maintain pristine tank conditions--and this is difficult to do for even the most advanced aquarists, so you would be taking some risks, to have a tank that size. Regarding the stocking level--it would be extremely difficult to maintain suitable living conditions for that many fish, in that small of a volume of water. Besides, who wants 1 female clownfish, one male and 18 juvenile males anyway? That's about 18 too many. I encourage you to keep reading up on the hobby and keep learning. You'll figure out what's best for your soon enough. Thanks for checking out the blog. I appreciate your positive energy and interest in the hobby.
