Clown Fish Question

[Doherty]

Hey everyone, I'm looking to see if anyone has been successful with keeping clowns in small groups long term , and if so which breeds.... There are many differing opinions about this. I have always had clowns, however they had only been in separate pairs. I would be looking to keeping them in a 40breeder. Which will be dedicated to them with anemones.

My system is currently cycling, so there is nothing in the tank now.

Thanks in advance.

I think you can get away with a group as long as they are all roughly the same size, young, and introduced at the same time. This allows a female and and alpha male to develop while the rest remain males. I think tank raised occellaris or percula would be easiest to do this with.
