I think your question is a bit misleading. I think the real danger point is when two of them pair up.

tank raised occ will keep skooling for years better in large groups 5 or more though

A lot of variables to consider.

Clownfish are NOT a schooling fish !!!!! Keeping a school of clownfish in a tank is strongly not recommended !!!

um there is a restourat right next to my house filled with clownfish and none of them have ever died.

 

[ice4ice]

They're probably juvenile clowns. The point is once they are matured, the dominant pair WILL kill the others in the tank. It is NOT ADVISABLE to have a school of clownfish in a tank !!!! End of story !!!

most of us know it's not advisable or recommended, but i know people break the "rules" and was just wondering if anyone has tried it, been successful, or whatever.....

 

[ice4ice]

Those who broke the "rules" usually ended up with alot of dead clownfish due to a dominant pair and thowing away alot of $$$ needlessly because they are too ignorant to come to acceptable terms that it's not going to work.

that's what i'm trying to find out....i am not considering this nor ever will nor ever recommend it.........but if you have never done it or just heard stories then don't comment on it because you keep telling me the same thing and i know that it shouldn't be done, but i wanna know if anyone has done it and what the outcome was
