Welp, couldn't wait any longer. Decided to throw a few fish in to keep my snails/shrimp/crabs company. It's a 120g that's been up and running for a few months now.

Congratulations! Be careful with those clowns, as they mature the dominate pair is likely to kill off the rest.
 
I'm hoping since I added them at once, they'll grow together and be friendly. If not, hopefully the tank is large enough that they can pick sides.
 
Congrats on getting your first fish. I started my 120 with 4 clowns too. After about 18 months the fighting was too much so I had to remove two of them to leave myself with a pair. There are a lot of people who keep more than a pair long term though so it might work out for you too!
 
I tried 3 in a 200....I had to pull one out. Never had good luck with more than 2 in a tank for any decent amount of time. Good luck.
 
Well, I guess time will tell lol. Fingers crossed! These little buggers are $20 each. So far they stay in a group everywhere and spend most of their time towards the front along the glass. Haven't even seen them explore the rock yet.
 
On that note, when would be a good time to introduce some sort of Aneme (spelling) into the tank? I'm not rushing as I don't have any coral yet and I'm brand new into this. I just feel like clowns need their beds.. :)

Rule of thumb is to let the tank mature for at least a year before adding an anemone. As for the clowns, don't want to put you off, but your going to have problems with anymore then two. If you can return two of them now since you just got them, that would be your best bet. They will only end up killing each other.
