How many clowns

[reef_cheif32]

I have a 55g tank with 2 ocellaris clowns how many more clowns could i possible intoduce into the tank (not including maroons)

How long have they been in there already? I'm not a fan of introducing more clowns into a system that's already got clowns. If you're willing to risk it, try and rescape when you add the newcomers. It helps to throw off the already established territories.

I have read many threads that started out with the person adding multiple pairs of clownfish to a tank. Everything started out fine but once the clownfish matured they started dying off. It has been done but those tanks had multiple anemones to host and more space. Good luck.

They have been in my tank for about 2 months or alittle less

I have 3 ocellaris clowns in my 55 and they have been together for about a year. I'm not sure how well it will work permanently. If you decide to add more, make sure you have a solid backup plan if and when there are aggression issues. I have another tank setup for the clowns to get moved to.
