Hello. Do you know what size the tank is?

It kind of looks like a 10g - too small for a pair of clowns (3 is not recommended as they will most likely pair and kill the other one, don't be fooled they are aggressive fish) live aquaria has a pair of clowns at a minimum 20g... Nice tank tho

what do u recommend to put in it ? can i put at least 1 small clown fish ?

You could do one clownfish and perhaps a firefish or goby, inverts and some corals down the road. Here is my purple firefish and rainsfords goby both suited to that size tank

I disagree, I think it looks closer to 5 gal. Attached is a picture of my 4gal. It's impossible to know how big it is without a brand name and model, or the dimensions if you knew them we could help better

From what I've seen you'd be better off trying to get a single clown in at the very least a 10g. And if I also remember correctly its better to have them in pairs rather than odd numbers (excluding singular).

A small tank is not the best tank to start out with, as its more prone to temperature changes, waste builds up quicker, and it limits your stocking options etc. Something such as a 20 gallon long would be easier.

If for money/space issues you'd still like to opt with a smaller tank, have a look at gobies. I have almost no experience with saltwater but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can offer suggestions as to which gobies.

is that a AIO setup?
if yes you can make it a beautiful saltwater aquarium

Without knowing the dimensions we can't give proper advice. Like was suggested though, I wouldn't put clowns in anything much smaller than a 20g tank. Keep in mind though, that the smaller the tank is the more difficult it is to keep. Any changes will happen waaaay faster in a 10g aquarium when compared to a 55g.
