Despite their lovable and friendly nature, clownfish should not be housed in an aquarium as mixed species or even multiples of the same species. As juveniles, a mixture such as this would be perfectly fine. In the long term, however, a single clownfish will typically become a dominate female over the rest, often killing the other clowns. For this reason, clownfish should be kept singly or as conspecific pairs only.
