Ocellaris Aggression?

[Ira]

Just a quick question, am getting ready to set up an 80-90 gal tank, and want to stock it with 100% aquacultured fish and corals. Now, I am very limited on aquacultured fish species, so I was thinking of just getting a bunch of Ocellaris clowns as live stock for this tank. I have seen pictures of tanks stocked with a bunch of clowns and like the look, but am unsure of if the fish will eventually kill each other or not since I dont typically hear of people stocking more than pairs together.

So would 10-15 ocellaris clowns all kill each other in a 80-90 gal tank or would they be OK?

I had a few A. Ocel when i first started my tank. It really depends on each fish's temperment but as they grow you would have problems. All clowns have no sex when they are juvenile but as they grown and the biggest turns female she will most likely bully all but the second largest as she will pair with the male. My A. Ocelaris was really aggresive towards the smaller "male" and eventually bullied him to jump out of the tank and commit fishicide. I quickly got rid of the A. Ocel and replaced with a Maroon. Also If you plan on keeping anemones these breeds tend to not host since they are tank bred and dont know any better since they have never seen a anemone in the wild and dont have the "natural instinct" to host. That's not all cases but just what i experienced. My A. Ocel never hosted my nem. the min i put the Maroon in the tank he hosted within 1 hour. He is solo since maroon's are a little more agressive towards con specifics and other clowns. Just my .02
