I wouldn't recommend mixing clownfish in that small of tank. If you wanted to mix, then the smallest tank i would reccomend is around 150 As for the poll, it depends on the clown, in a good environment and fed properly they can live for 10 or more years. The longest i've heard is 14 years.

Hi Scutell.

Tomato clown fish, in my experience, are very territorial.
I wouldn't recommend putting it with any other clown fish - he is not friendly at all.
The only exception to that will be in a tank of 500 G, with a lot of live rock.
I had him in my tank, with sumatra clown, and even though I had a 200G, 30" deep with a lot of live rock and 3 anemones, he still almost killed the other clown.

Good Luck.
