Not really. I'd also say no to a bottom feeder fish in a biorb due to, well, the lack of a real bottom to the tank.

clown fish grow quiet big so not suitable for a biorb

don;t clowns need a lot of movement in their water too?

could be difficult to achieve in a biorb.

probably best sticking to fresh water and going for a handful of tetras

If I was you I'd ditch the Bio Orb and get a more traditional tank.. I had a Bio Orb and it was no end of hassle, apart from it being a bugger to clean, the filter can quite easily trap smaller fish under it. The ceramic stuff you put in is unsuitable for lots of fish as they cut themselves on it.

Saying that if anyone wants a cheap Bio Orb with all the bits and a timer nightglow light, I've got one going cheap!!
