How do Tomato Clownfish fare in a small (10-20gal) community aquarium setting? I've read that they can be a little more aggressive than Percula Clowns. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Not well, they get large, ie 5.5 inches, way too large for a 10-20 gallon tank. Plus they are one of the most aggressive Clowns one can keep. I don't know if anyone has recommended this for you but it is advised you pick up the Marine Fish book by Scott W. Michael. Great book with tons of useful info on over 500 commonly available fish. And he lists minimum tank size which can give you a feel which creatures will work where. And rememeber that that is minimum size not ideal size. Anyway, hope this helps and good luck.

In the Scott Michaels book he makes references to medium and larger tanks but never says anywhere what he conciders a small medium or larger aquarium. Do you have any input?:confused:
