Think about a clownfish pair's territory in the wild. An anemone can be as big as the square footage of your whole tank. I mean, it can work for awhile for sure but it's pretty risky.
Sorry forth the loss.
I agree one pair sometimes with a third individual per tank is the generally accepted rule. Usually two pair of amphiprion ocellaris can do ok in a larger tank. Two females often fight until one is dead or jumps though.
I keep 5 pair but only one pair per tank.
However, when I look at ARC's display tank lot's of clowns(ocellaris) cohabitate and have for a long time. There's pretty good structure in there so they get to have their own territories and i think that matters.. Maybe it's just the exception that proves the rule kind of thing.
In nature a pair of amphiprion usually claim a cubic meter of space as their own and usually tolerate a 3rd clown of the same species which is kept on the edge of the territory . Number 3 fills in as a new male if one of the pair dies.
