This is terrible, my mom was about to take me there too.

Did that guy say it was yours or 1st come, 1st serve?

She said you can pick it up tomorrow or the next day and then I said should I call you back tomorrow she said yes at 11 30 and i just did and she said that someone offered her 300 dollars...

Which frankly I wouldnt do because theres one that is 75 gallon bowfront with more things for only 250 and a 90 gallon full sw for 300...

I know how you feel. Where I live basically nothing is ever posted on Craigslist and when it is, it's like $1500.00 for small tanks. The best you can do is keep looking and save in the process. Saving will help you a lot in the long run. Best of luck tank searching!

Tobies are docile towards other fish, but they're absolutely vicious towards each other; the guy I bought Camille from told me that she killed two other smaller Fiji Orangetails earlier that week, and that's why she was in a separate tank all by herself and had a chunk bitten out of her tail. Camille has lived peacefully with blennies and gets along rather well with her pet sleeper goby, who follows her around like a puppy. Not sure about clowns, as clownfish themselves can get aggressive. However, tobies are known to nip and pick at corals, so I wouldn't recommend you putting corals with a toby.

Ive had so many tanks sold out from under me

Well, if I get 2 males/2 females wont i be fine with the clowns? Would I be able to add an anemone if I had them?

also how would damsels work?

I'm sure I've heard that if you have 2 male clowns the weaker/less dominant one will turn into a female. (I think they said it on Qi)

thats just... well yeah.

Clowns tend to be way more aggresive when they are a matting pair. You might have a problem with them bulling the puffer. Lets just wait and see what size tank you end up with. Anemone aren't the easiest to keep for beginners and need certain lighting and a mature tank ( suggested a year up and running).

Will they be okay without an anemone

Yes they do love anemones but they don't have to have one.

Clowns ARE damsels. You may only keep one pair of the same species in a 55g. It will be a year before you can try to attempt to keep an anemone. Clowns fine without them.

I have kept a valentini with a bluespot & a valvalentini with a coronata. Neither long-term though.
