Mutliple clowns

[aviator]

I'd like to add 4-5 clowns to an existing non-clown tank, is there a way to have that many clowns together in a tank? maybe buying them all at the same time, or very young or something?
How do I go about doing it?

IF you are going to do it, make sure they are small, and I am hoping you have a very large tank,,, cant say this will work for too long.

It's only a 55 gallon, so not that big, my lfs says they've recently purchased 5 juveniles that are living together, I think I might just grab 'em all, sounds like the right way to get a group of them. lets' hope!

I wouldn't recommend it...clowns are best in pairs....the others will probably get beaten up eventually.

Meowzer is right

. Clown fish are not what we really call a schooling fish. as fry they stick together. in adulthood, paired with a mate or a life of service to an anemone.

Where in Oklahoma are you? I'm in Edmond, almost to Guthrie..
Not sure if I would be called the "exciteable" type, LOL. I'm a pretty quiet guy. My wife is the exciteable one, LOL... of course, she's from Pauls Valley... maybe it's just those small-towners.
