Just fantasizing about the 20L I have that’s currently a fresh water tank. Wondering if a species specific Clarkii clownfish tank might work? If I had a mated pair of clarkii’s and an anemone with a cuc is that doable? Or are the clarkiis too boot for a 20L? Also, what anemones are best for clarkiis? If not clarkiis maybe maroons?

A Maroon or a Clarkii get to be about 6” adult size. I would say that is a tight fit. Especially for a pair. I admit though, I myself have a single A. bicinctus in a 45 gallon AIO. I did this having owned Clarkii types in the past and knowing I am pushing the limit a bit.

I have this fish in a host BTA (would work for a Clarkii) and in the past had a Clarkii in an H. magnifica.

I will add Clarkiis will tend to stray a bit further from their host anemone than say ocellaris or percula.
