CAN YOU SUGGEST ME WHAT FISH CAN GO PERFECT WITH THERE AND TANK SIZE ? IF I HAVE A ORIGINAL SALT WATER TANK I PERSONALLY LOVE TO KEEP CLOWN FISH, I JUST LOVE THEM, SO I WILL GLAD IF ANYONE CAN SUGGEST ME A FRESH WATER FISH THAT IS CHEAP BUT BEHAVE LIKE AND LOOKS LIKE SALTWATER CLOWN FISH AND AS WELL AS HARDY, AND ACTIVE ....

POINT TO BE CONSIDERED

If your willing to go brackish I would do a green spotted puffer

Couple Orange Chromides or Canarensis cichlids (Etroplus maculatus or canarensis cichlids) some of my favorites that would work in that size tank. both native to India, maybe a few rasboras or other Indian natives as dither fish.
canarensis below

If you'd want to go the Central American route, the only cichlid that fits into small tanks for life, are Amatitlania nanoluteus.

No specific suggestions, but a caution: the dimensions you give work out to a volume of just over 22 gallons (US), or less than 19 gallons (Imperial), rather than 44 as stated. A bit more limiting in terms of stocking than originally thought.

 

[gmwJOY]

yes you are right i was wrong, my be i put other tanks, ... any way thanks, it not 44.45 gal, it is 22.47 gal.
