more than one pair clowns in 20x24 tank?

[fullmonti]

I'm setting up a 20x24x18 nem tank. originally though one nice gigantea, but several BT with more than one pair of clowns would be nice, if the clowns would tolerate each other in that size tank. What do you think? If that would be OK would the clowns need to go in at same time?

Forgot to mention this tank would be part of a existing 250gal reef system.

I think there will be problems.

there will be problems. if i stick my hand anywhere in my 20x20x20, my clarkii rips it apart.

I wanted to do something a lot like this but decided against it. It would be nice if this was possible.

All signs point to no.

OK I've never had more than a pair, but clowns are so cool thought it would be nice to have two different pairs. I had read they're territorial so thought I'd ask.
Thanks all

What about adding a group of babies (maybe6) to a tank? Would they end up battling, or be alright in say a 120?

 

[fullmonti]

Don't know about that, but I only have room for the 20x24 40gal. nice thought though

Sorry, I was piggybacking on your thread!

 

[fullmonti]

no prob, I thought you were asking me, maybe some one how knows will speak up?

IMO,6 clowns would end in a bloody fight.Im not saying it cant be done but Im not saying it can be done nither.IMO,in a 120 it might be better!
