Whats the min size tank I could put two black ocellaris clowns in?
I have two in my DT and they are getting beat up by this stupid cinn bitch of a clown.

would 8g work?

I have two in a 14G biocube with a wrasse. I don't think I would go smaller. Infact I am moving all three of them to my rsm-250 because they are too crammed. But two ocellaris in a 14G biocube by themselves might be okay, on the small side long term maybe though.

they'd likely be fine all by themsleves in an 8 gallon...

Is it ideal....probably not but I would bet they would be just fine in there...especially with something to host as clowns tha host seem to require less swimming space.

How may anemones do you have? You could always have one on each side of your tank for the 2 different species to house in. I did that for years with no problems, they stayed on different sides of the tank. The black clowns are way cooler than the cinnamon. Kick the cinnamon to the smaller tank, most people have the orange and white clowns so be a little different.

Do they have an anemone? If so catch them in it at night it while they sleep.
