Starting 20 Gallon Clown Tank?

[BIGgourami]

Sorry for the confusion. I don't need to have the tank up by Christmas, my girlfriend is just getting my the tank as a gift, I'm just kinda planning ahead because I'm so freakin' excited.

Thanks for all the responses guys.

Believe me I know the feeling

Solitary clowns will remain male and thus smaller

Actually, solitary clowns will turn female...

I've never had that IME

my occelaris is male
My old skunk clown was male
All the lone ones at work are male
And ones in other peoples exeriences have stayed male

Solitary clowns (being the dominant clown in the tank) will become females, how long were your clowns kept by themselves and how old were they?

occelais is going on two years the skunk was about one and the one at work has to be like seven, he was there from opening day

It usually takes clownfish 1-2 years to mature...
