This is my 55, it is about 6 months old, and I have not had a fish death in over 5 months, the water quality is stable, and I would like to put a group of clowns in hear for 3 years. I love clowns but understand if it is to small or crowded. It has a 75 gallon filter on it.

Curious, is this saltwater or freshwater ?
The only fresh water clowns I know are the ones that live down the storm drain 😂
Clowns get insanely large over the years and like to shoal (meaning they will need to be in a group of 6 or more), usually the minimum for that many is 110 gals but the more space the better. This could probably work as a temporary set up but would definitely need to be updated as they will outgrow it. I’m also not too sure how well they treat plants, sometimes they may overpower or rip out vegetation. If you’re really interested in some loaches I may recommend yoyos, kubotais, or zebra loaches. Not quite the same in colors or size but a similar body shape and all have fun, outgoing personalities. Their patterns are quite admirable too!! This is an awesome set up though, great job!
Clown loach?
Or other “clown” fish?
You would really appreciate a big school of cory catfish. Try to have different species for the exotic style.
Loaches get too big and will eventually start to eat at your beautiful looking fish.
Can you be specific? What kind of “clowns” are we talking about? Clown fish? Clown Pleco? Clown Loach? Etc?
A crawfish would look cool af In this tank. You know. The tiny ones.
Well, if you pay them enough🤷🏼♀️ Otherwise, I don’t think you can keep humans as pets🤔 They require too much maintenance😔
Hi, sorry that I did not specify, I was referring to clown loaches, a group of 6 to be specific.
Clown loach? If so yes! They will love it. I’ve got 6 living in a similar set up. Just be prepared that eventually you will need a bigger tank but they grow very slowly after the first year or so. Mine are about 5 years old and super happy in their 400l, I’m looking to upgrade them in the next 12 to 18m to something a little bigger. I’m happy to slowly buy bigger tanks as required because my partner and I have about 12 tanks – more the merrier. But it is more cost effective to just buy one jumbo tank to start with than it is to buy lots of little ones. We love our clown loaches – they definitely live up to the name, they are adorable goof balls.
Send in the clowns!
Where’s the little multi colored car and the balloons?
If the clown consents then I suppose that would be okay.
