They are marine tropical fish - clown fish to be precise.
You will need quite a lrge tank for a marine set up usually (although you can do a micro set up).
I am no expert on marines but check out the forum on www.tropicalfishcentre.co.uk for more info.
There is alot of equipment associated with marines, not a case of just getting a fish and putting it in a tank. To be fair no fish keeping is that simple, but there is more to marines than cold and tropical

Clown fish are very difficult to keep, they need a marine set-up and a LOT of work, not as simple as buying a fish and putting it in some water.
Don't want you to waste your money unnecessarily as they are also quite expensive.
There is a tropical fish shop at Handsworth, in a unit down the end of Finchwell Road (Fish inc I think it's called) call in there, they are very helpful and can advise you.

yes they marine fish. Set up for that is very expensive and hard work with all salt etc. Saw 1 of these in mill garden centre. Cost 45 quid for 1 fish.
