    That is some interesting information... According to many people on here that would be far too small of a tank for 4 clowns. I've also noticed that there is great debate as to what is considered overstocking. Some say that will never work and then another comes on and says I've done that for 5 years with no problems. I'm starting to think I'll try what ever I want if it works great if not oh well its only money and after all they're only fish.

    Luna,
    No offense taken, and I wasn't really talking about your post.. At least you added something to the post about Clowns. Sorry if I came off sounding nasty, I really didn't mean to.

    Now a day's your right, put 4 clowns in a tank that now and you might have someone stopping by your house.... This was 15 years ago, and I tell you that they sure seemed really happy and lived a really long life with me.

    In fact I finally had to give them away a few years back and the guy that took them put the whole tank rocks and all into his 90 gallon. How long they lived for him I haven't a clue.

    None taken gazog. Im not saying that its impossible to have 4 different clowns. The only way that I see that happening is;
    1. A decent size tank would definately help but not a must
    2. Should be introduced at a young age and ALL at the same time.
    3. To ensure a proper introduction, try letting them go at night or with all lights off.
