That would be fine, for me it was two Ocellaris clown fish. And remember they are peaceful..........until you stick your hand in THEIR tank, then they try to take a piece full of your hand..

My clarki wasn't exactly peaceful. He was a bully among his other peaceful tankmates. He killed couple of my fish over the time that I had him. I gave him to my brother, who has a 120, and he started attacking his maroon clown that was twice his size. He beat him up pretty good and had to be removed from that tank too.

Mandarinfish are probably the most peaceful fish there are provided you only have one male. However, you need plenty of established live rock for them to graze pods off of or they will starve.
