would they be alright in a fluval evo 13.5? want a pair or if not them what 2 fish would do alright in there i have a liopropoma rubre that i would like to put in but i think it would be impossible to catch him in my bigger tank he is very shy and don't seem to like all the big fish in my tank so i think the fluval evo 13.5 would be better for him

I really wouldn’t recommend them in a 13.5, at least with other fish. Clowns are mean. My female mocha killed her mate, a firefish, and a gramma in a 13.5.

I think some of that is predicated on the personality of the individual fish. I have two clowns in my Fluval and they get along perfectly fine with the other inhabitants. They seem healthy and happy.
I have a firefish and clown goby in the same tank. I have seen zero aggression from the clowns but maybe I am just lucky.

nah the clowns would be on there own i would only put 2 fish in my 13.5 other recommendation was instead of the clowns put my swiss guard in but i think it would be an impossible task catching him the gramma and firefish sounds like a good idea though

I can say from experience that I have a pair of black storms in my Evo 13.5 and I've seen zero aggression between them and the invertebrates. That being said I don't know how they would fare with other fish because I only have the clowns, but I would imagine that they wouldn't be too aggressive towards other tankmates unless they're super territorial.

I take back my previous comment. My orange clown got the crap kicked out of itself this weekend. Only possible culprit is the black clown.
