    4 gallons of water to 1" of fish at adult size.

    34 divided by 4 equals 8.5. Two clowns at 4 inches and one Coral Beauty at 4 inches equals 12 inches. Yes you are overstocked right now.

    I'm not sure about you being OS or not. To me it depends on your system, not just the size of your tank.
