    Hello Reefers
    I have a question about how many clowns can be in one tank. I am planning to have a breeding program and i was wondering if i can have 2 pairs of clownfish in a single tanl. One pair has already mated and the other is just paired but had not mated yet. Is there a possibility this can work or do they have to be in separated tanks? The setup is a 40 gallon breeder with a few starfish, peppermint shrimp, and mexican turbo snails.

    - thanks in advance

    Separate tanks especially with a 40 gallon. It will be trouble in the neighborhood.
