hi i have a 55 gal tank with a 30 gal sump/fuge around 70lbs of lr and tons on macro algae,with a 3 inch sand bed. in the tank i have 2 nemos,1 blue tang,1 false lemon peel and a red mandarin.. the wife wants to get 2 of the black and white clowns. is that a posibility???
 
Probably occellaris, but the tank being somewhat small I'd advise against it. If it were a larger tank where they could get away from each other then I'd say okay

Also, I would find the tang a new home. They are advised to be in tanks of a 6ft length or longer, if they are in a small tank not only will they experiencing stunting but also may get ich from being stressed
 
yeah i no :( i thought i would buy a small one and then rehome when he got bigger. but didnt know about the stunting... thank you he is about 2 inches rite now
