I would consider this fish semi aggressive as the pair I have only pick on other fish if they get to close to the area they claimed. That being said I would recommend at least a 20 gallon tank if keeping with another clownfish and a 30 or more if you are wanting to keep it with other fish that are not as aggressive. Both my maroon clownfish live in a 32 gallon biocube happily with two other peaceful fish and everyone is doing good. One annoying thing this fish does is insist on the corner of the tank they claimed be bare bottom. I think this is just a clownfish thing and varies from fish to fish but figured it is a worthy mention.
