How many Clarkii clowns in a tank.

[redimpala01]

We have a 24 Nano Cube. Any suggestions

. Would 4 be too many?

Yes, I'd go with no more then 2. They are not the most aggressive clown but they are feisty and I'd worry about aggression.

I have 2 in my 12 nano. They are very spunky and active Also very fun to watch!
The occasional chasing, but nothing serious.

You can only keep two . The tank is ok when they are juveniles but once they reach adulthood you will need a bigger tank . Minimum tank size for Clakiis is 30 gallons . Do not put any other fish in there as Clarkiis are really aggressive and in such a small tank they will pick on other fish and even kill them .

Yes, 4 is too many and 2 in a 24 gallon is risky

Yessssssss You should only have one inch of fish per 4 to 5 gallons of water in a saltwater tank.
