chufa Posted August 28, 2002 I hate rules of thumb, but that's the only thing I can give you, since I am more inexperienced that you are. ROT: 1 inch fish/30-50inches water surface area. Your tank, if I am not mistaken, is 12x12, then approx. 3-5 inches of fish. Of course this depends on the type of fish, metabolism, etc. Right now you would be fine, but down the road just the 2 adult clowns will fill your capacity. Quote Share this post Link to post
