How many clown fish can I fit?

[Oohkris123]

I got this 24g tank and I'm planning on having my left side of the tank bta only if possible to keep on the left side only and the right side a little mix reef.. my question here is how many clown fish can i get for this 24g?

2. But only if they pair up.

I wouldn't do more than two.. relatively small tank, and clowns can be quite territorial

Almost impossible to keep the BTAs just on the left side,They’ll move where they want too.

One mated pair. Otherwise, it's a fight to the death.

And yes, you don't determine where an anemone goes, it does.

I'll try to keep them all to the left. Its gonna be hard but im gonna try my best for that plan

Just being curious but how will you try on keeping them on the left side ?

The first pic was my 5g i upgraded to a 24g and traded a few corals for a small jaw breaker and a winter bounce shroom.

Wait, you are not supposed to super glue them to the rock? All this time I thought it was just blowing loose.


I kid. I kid.

Even in a 120 gal tank. I wouldn’t do more than a pair.

So if you have one and you want to try to pair them, how? Get a smaller one and hope one will change genders? Barry white?

 

[James M]

Definitely need to upgrade then. Your looking at a clown harem tank

The smaller one is always a male. If you have an established clown you have to get one that’s smaller so the female would accept it

Now that is cool!

As long as they're the same species I think you can mix and max them. Idk tho

I was at the Fish Store about 1.5 hours away and fell in love with a pair of blood orange clowns that was sold. I got a pair of scooter blends (wife calls them puppies) and they have been entertaining me thus far. They move synchronized.
