Yeah, I'd feel better putting the larger clowns in bigger tanks. I was surprised when I read that. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."

I have been tempted to swap them into smaller 12 by 15wide by 18high cubish tanks.

I am sure they would be happier in a 20g but they can be done in smaller.
