So I just got a new tomato clown from a trade with my friend.
Tomato clown is about 1.5-2 inches and I want to get 2 snowflake clownfish.
My question is can I mix them all together?

Tomatoe clowns will corner most unagressive fish and constantly attack them.

Lionfish is a good companion lol

While I have heard and seen "harem" tanks that break the "only two clowns per tank" rule, I have not heard of successfully mixing the more docile species with the more agressive species, and the Tomato is probably at, or very near, the top of the aggressive clown scale.

How big is the tank, as asked earlier. I have no idea how much territory a tomato clown considers belonging to it, but I still don;t think it is adviable to mix the two.

There is definitely no way to make it work in a 20 gallon tank. I had 2 tomatoes in a 30 gallon by themselves. They were fine with me, but I didn't trust them with anything else.

I don't know what you traded him but he got the best deal because that thing will kill every fish you put in your tank.
