Not all clown fish get that big. I think few do.

Decide what type of fish you want then research it. Then you can decide
what suits your tank.

i KNOW i am getting into trouble with this post, but if your reading it,

ive sent it

anyway

even 2 6" clowns are not a bio load problem on a 5gallon tank, there would

be no room for

the fish, but the bio load isnt the real problemas long as its filters are

made both

appropriately sized and cycled, to handle it the last part not being a

major concern if

the fish are acquired small and they grow up in the tank, by that time the

filter will

have cycled. as its only going to be a 20 and because the end goal seems

now to be very

fixed and little room for other things like anemones and such, such a tank

could be setup

with a pair of clowns with a bio wheel, a few lbs of LR and use

waterchanges, or other

methods to limit nitrates. the lack of inverts will allow some nitrates

such that I dont

want in my reef, but am happy with in my FO.

IMO, yes it would accommodate juveniles BUT a full grown clown can

reach

4" to 6" depending on the species. So in the long term I'd say no.

That's a

big bio-load on a small tank.

I am looking to set up a small SW fish only tank 20g. My end goal

would be

to have two happy clown fish. Can this size tank accomodate the fish

and
