I’m wanting maroon gold clowns but I don’t know if they are jumpers can they go in a 13.5 gal tank?

Maroon clowns can live up to two decades and can get 5-6" +, a 13.5g tank will be a very very very temporary solution for them. I had to pair up two maroons a while back and had them in a 29g biocube to do so but moved them to a 75g after about 2 months. They grow fast and live for a long time, if you are up for that commitment and are going to upgrade in the next 4-6 months then go for it they likely won't jump. If you aren't planning on upgrading I would highly encourage you to go with occelaris clowns over maroons.
Nope. Changing genetics takes a whole lot more than just being placed in a small tank.I heard maroons can adapt to a small environment and dwarf themselves and basically change their genetic code but thank you much appreciated

A healthy fish will grow to its natural size even in tiny quarters. However, in confined spaces there are factors that can stunt its growth. A fish with stunted growth is not healthy.
Not having enough space can negatively affect muscle growth and development, which stunts growth. Filtration is also not as effective for larger fish in small tanks. Dissolved organics, increased nutrient levels, and hormones secreted by the fish themselves can stunt their growth as well.
Ocellaris or percula.
