I did a search, but I was having a hard time:eek:

I have 5 in a 180g, but I will most likely downsize eventually. I would even like to maybe get as many as 3 more clowns...so, assuming there was little else in the tank with them (like maybe a small pleco and a small school of some sort of schooling fish), what would you all recommend as the minimum?

Thanks

I've seen some say a 75G, but I think that's too small in the long run.

Are you looking to downsize in legth or overall volume of tank? I'd say the largest footprint you ould manage with the height of the tank being irrelevant.

I was guessing 90 or 120 would be the minimum, but I wanted to hear what some of you thought ;). And I am looking to downsize eventually to a smaller volume. My set up right now is a 6x2x2 on a 10 foot long stand, so I could use the extra room and a bit less maintenance time.
