I am also thinkinging putting a cleaner shrimp in with them aswell.
Would they be better off in a 60 litre biorb?
yes
No. That’s less than 8 gallons.
Yes… I know some who who had 2 clowns and 2 similar size fish in a 50ltr tank.
Actually, no. A 50l/13g tank isn’t large enough for two clownfish, not to mention that it will be terribly hard to maintain immaculate water quality.
The bare minimum for a pair of clownfish is 30g, but bigger is better. Please upgrade your tank.
No. Not only are water volume, swimming space, and tank dimensions here just plain wrong, but a biorb doesn’t have the correct filter system for marine species (and no room for a protein skimmer). And cycling it fishless would be a must, as any ammonia levels would kill your fish and shrimp.
water changes would be a pain, and keeping the water quality good would be a worse pain to say the least.
I know clownfish are cool, but you’re going to waste a lot of money and time if you don’t get a proper system and do this correctly.
