Clownfish, how many ?

[Venzzla]

I have a 40 gallon breeder and I want to add a couple different colors of clownfish (Ocellaris) to my tank. Would this be a problem as long as I got say 4-5 very small juvenile clowns and one much bigger clown (female)?

If your doing a harem tank then 5 clowns form the same clutch if not then 2

^^ Yep, what he said

If not from same clutch but same species wouldn’t work ?

If you want different ones you have to introduce them all at the same time but there might be a ton of aggression

Agreed!
