Are you thinking about trying to add a couple different pairs? Or are you talking about a harem. Sent from my SM-N910R4 using proboards |

Like I said it's all dependent on species. You could do a pair of ocellaris and a pair of true percs. Possibly a pair of maroon clowns but most others are pretty aggressive. Introducing them all at the same time will probably be critical to success. Sent from my SM-N910R4 using proboards |

It really is going to come down to the species you wish to keep and what kind of filtration you have. A 46 gallon is a fairly small tank. Personally I wouldn't put any more than a couple of bigger fish like dwarf angels or certain species of clownfish in there. If your talking small fish like chromis or blennies then i would maybe go no further than a dozen as long as your tank could handle the bioload and aggression wasn't an issue. Also note I case there is any confusion, it's best to only have one pair of clownfish per tank unless you have a big enough tank, plenty of hosting anemones and introduce multiple clownfish or pairs of clownfish all at the same time. Otherwise one single pair of clownfish will end up killing or terrorizing all other clownfish.
