    I would get the two clowns. I know they recommend a bigger tank, but a lot of people keep a pair in 10 gallons succesfully long term. You wouldn't want to add more than one fish at a time anyways. Give the tank at least a couple of weeks between to catch up with the bioload. If you do get 2 clowns, go for a future mating pair. My vote goes to option 2 ;)
