    no critiscism please, but i would add another clown, just to keep it happy. as long as filter and protein skimmer are good, and your up to date with your water changes it should be fine

    i wouldnt do that, not criticising but a ten gallon is not really big enough for one, let alone two. but if you want to thats your choice, water changes water changes water changes

    if you think you can keep it then go for it. just remember that clowns need space, so hopefully when they get to their maximum size you'll get like a bigger tank. Remember, you want the fish to live comfortably in your tank

    What kind of clown and how big is the clown? how long has it been in the tank? 2 clowns in a 10g, isn't a particularly good idea, but it's your tank. If your clown is an ocellaris, it *may* be ok, at least for a while. If you do it, and you have had your clown for a month or more, it has probably already changed into a female. So, you would need to make sure you add a very young small clown, to ensure it will be the male. Two females in that tank would be a disaster.
