the advice is DON'T..
they're VERY VERY hard to look after.. because they live within the anemone.. and you need a running and healthy ecosystem within the tank, with stuff for the anemone to filter and feed on, and also for the fish to eat..
with the clownfish come other fish.. you got to make sure they're all compatible and not end up eating each other..
then there's there maintenance of a steady and healthy bioload within the tank (see unhealthy tanks in places like suntec and vivocity/harbourfront link).. the balance is very very delicate and there it takes a lot of skill and a dollop of luck to ensure everything is healthy...
to top it all off, a lot of clownfish are "harvested" in the wild which has caused untold damage because a link in the ecosystem of the reef was removed...
go keep a goldfish instead.. it's easier and less harmful to the environment

Fish easy to keep, the fish home is the hardest.

I think it's best you start with a basic freshwater tank before jumping to a marine set-up
There are much more considerations for a marine set-up than a freshwater set-up
If you want colourful fishes that look like marine fish in terms of brillance, you might want to consider African cichlids. With dried corals and sand, they can look like a marine set up
Freshwater set up is less costly (though those who know me might think otherwise) and require less maintanence than a marine tank.
