Max clowns in one tank?

[tonyespinoza]

I've seen what appear to be large numbers of seemingly related clownfish in one tank at the LFS. Is it possible to buy a group this way and maintain them, or will they eventually start fighting to the death?

My new tank is 200g (60" x 40" x 20"). How many clowns do you think would max it out (in terms of clownfish territory) if it were "clownfish dominated" ?

Also, if this is possible, which species would be best suited?

I got ten small BW perks in a 200G tank after about six months they start to fight bad i had to separate them .
I don't think you can put more than a pair of related clownfish in a same tank ,I try i didn't do to good.

Its hit of miss...if raised together sometimes it works out fine.

With 200 gal, you may be able to get 2 pair. When the alphas get to maturity and start thinking about spawning, they often kill the others in an aquarium.
