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. Actually, no.

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.
