First, the Clown Fish is a very fast growing fish. So a longer tank is welcome. I'd say a 100 gals is just fine. Less than that doesn't make much sense. It doesn't matter too much if it's wide or tall but it's gotta be long. THe fish is VERY flexible so width isn't a problem here. He tends to eat huge amounts of food and he's very greedy (I feed them TetraDiscus and Hikari Cichlid for their protein amount and palatability). U have to be careful not to have any aggressive fish to haress him while he's still small. Mine usually had some quarrels with my huge JD (8") and less often with my Jag (11") while he was around 6" to 9". Now he's around 1 foot, maybe couple inches more and nobody disturbs him anymore. Sometimes my Jag threatens him but everything stops there .. fortunately. They're all in a 200 gals tank with some other inhabitants. Feel free to ask anything else. Good luck with yours.

he is the same size as the bichir and my id sharks. so if he wants to fight back if he gets harrased, he gonna be welcome to. yes i know, they ARE VERY flexible! im getting a 75 gallon :nilly:once he starts to outgrow my 30 gallon. :) 48x18x20.

no im not planning on a dovii, i dont think there would be much left of the other fish then. All the fish get along pretty good so far :)
