10 gallon tank for clownfish

[Stephen1623]

So I'm a college reefer, and have a full reef tank with a pair of clowns one is a frostbite snowflake that's the male and the female is a black ice. Their an awesome pair. They are currently in a 24 gallon tank., the place I'm living at in college only allows 10 and below. Is a 10 cube fine. I would think it would be, because they look almost full grown.

I have a pair in a 10 gallon and they get along fine. And they've been in there over a year.

That will be tight. The 24 is probably the smallest I would want to go with a pair, but the people that breed them put them in 10g regularly and they seem to do okay. Just make sure to give them a good stable home and maybe you can upgrade in the future.
My son is heading to college and they mention a limit on tanks too. Cannot remember what it is though. He is not into it.

I would one hundred percent upgrade after college my question was during college if they were kept in a 10 Gallon would they be happy and I want to make sure that if they are not done growing that they can still have room.

I think they would be fine actually. As I stated, the breeders have them in small tanks. Plus, they are not huge swimmers if they have a host.

Yes. I have a 10g, 2 years old. Clowns don’t move that much and would prefer not to.

This is the IM Nuvo10. No skimmer, Ph, or water changes. Just a return pump and heater.

ignore the FW next to it
