You must really be eager to start your marine tank or just love to look at marine fish. The following list of beginners fish will viery from hardy to not so hardy fish with a difference .
Yellow tail Damsel (R60) - - - Purple Tang (R300+)
Flame Angel (R300+) - - - Clarcii Clown (R 60)
Lion fish (R90) - - - - - - - Yellow eye Surgeon (R200)
Percula Clown (R65) - - - - Banner fish (R200)
The damsel and clown fish are popular fish to start with, for they are in- expensive - R40-R60 and can withstand the worst water conditions. I started with a yellow tail damsel because it's hardy, cheap and multi-colored. Clowns are also very popular. Keep in mind that some of these in-expensive fish are very aggressive. But the flame angel is something different to start with. It is one of the stronger of angel fish but very expensive. Next is the Moorish Idol- but ohh so expensive and very difficult to keep for beginners. You do get a Poor mans Idol(Banner fish) which can be kept by beginners. It looks exactly like the Moorish idol except for a shorter top-fin. All damsel fish are very hardy but once you have them in your tank it's difficult to put other slow moving fish species with them, especially when they get older they get very territorial. The lion fish are meat eaters and you'll need very good filtration to keep these fish. They are very hardy fish. The yellow eye surgeon fish is a good specimen for eating brown algae. It's a hardy fish and good for beginners - if you can afford it.

ANEMONES
:
Anemones are not diffycult to keep, only when you have poor water quality
you'll have a problem. Sometimes Anemones tentacles are small and deflated and look dead -
they'r not, just resting OK. People loose lots of money by thinking it's dead.
When a Anemone dies it's tentacles breaks off and the base starts to fall apart to.
Only then you should remove it before it starts to give off toxin which will also kill
all your fish.
Some people only keep Anemones without clown fish. Keeping a clown will help feed
the Anemone and stimmulate it as well. A clown fish is also immune to the Anemone's
poison. Anemones needs to be fed up to twise a week (small fish or pieces of fish).
