    This is only for this thread and dose not always apply to your tank. Side effects may include Upset Stomach, Indegestion, Diarrhea, Heartburn

    Clown fish harem.

    Google it, read it, understand it. Then you will know how to successfully keep as many Clowns in a tank as your tank can hold fish. Another recommendation is a book called "Clown Fishes". It will teach you all you need to know. I highly recommend it.

    I presently have a maroon and a pair of clarkii's. The maroon is the bully but the clarkii's have been holding their own.

    120 gallons should be large enough for a circus clown. I say, yes it can be done. (After all, don't tell the tang police, but I have had 3 tangs in my 90 for years, Yellow, Sail-fin and golden-eyed). 3 perc will work I vote (in a 120).
