I have a 14G Peninsula. I'll admit, I do have a Clown. But the more I look at full grown clowns posted to R2R, and seen at my LFS, I can't help but think it's going to be too small for him when full grown. There are a lot of neat nano fish, and I dont think a Clown is one. I wish I would have gotten something different for the sake of the fish.

So are you saying I shouldn't get 2 ocellaris clownfish?

I see a lot of people with 2 clowns in your exact tank, to me though when they are full grown it's not enough space. Aestically, I also think they look too big compared to the small size of the rest of the tank. Mine is currently less than half his full grown size, and I think he is the perfect size for my tank. I hope to get another, bigger, tank in the next year or two. Would be nice to move him into it and have something smaller in my current tank. Will re-home him if I don't.
