One pair is best, unless you have a big tank(real big)

thanks I was just wondering seeing that many stores have a few pairs in relatively small (100gal ) tanks

I pair per 100 gallons

They are generally young clowns and haven't started the sexing process yet. It is difficult to keep multiple clowns in even large tanks once a true bonded pair has been established and one of them as changed into a female. She will become very territorial and may not even allow a third of the same species to be in the tank.
