Good Idea or Bad Idea?

I am trying to raise money for a reef system at the school I work at. We have a 125 rr...that's it. Our LFS has offered to give us 10 percs for free to grow out. Would it work to put them in my 75 for a few months till we can sell them? They would share the space with a chromis, large rbta, small bta, cleaner shrimp, peppermint shrimp, various crabs and snails. What do y'all think?

It may work if they are from the same clutch and are all juvenile. They will still most likely fight somewhat but it should not be a horrible problem. I do not have experience with that many clowns in a 75g tank however but from what I have read and seen in some other tanks it can be done for a while.

They would all be from the same clutch. I would keep them until they got some size and sell them locally.

Then you should be alright. There are many breeders that keep their clowns until they get a little older so they can sell them with better coloration and size.
