How many ocellaris clown fish can I put in a 120 gallon tank with a couple of tangs and a puffer and a couple of damsel?

2 a mated pair, haven't seen much long term succes with more than one pair in a tank of you size in less you were to get a lot from the same clutch but still 2 would be the best idea

BRS has a current thread on a clown harem they have been doing. Think they have like 29 clowns in a 120. Check out their you tube thread on it

Doing more than 2 can be done like BRS, pay attention to the details it's not necessarily easy.

OK so I guess my tank is a 125, I don't know where I got 120 from. I assume that probably wont make a difference. I had 3 in my 75 gallon and they ended up killing each other.

It can be done but they have to be from the same hatch and of course you usually have to feed pretty good to avoid food aggresion and have plenty of hiding space

How do you know if they are from the same hatch?

Best bet is to find a breeder to purchase them from
