They'll be fine - just make sure that the water is kept clean and no ammonia or nitrite coz clowns hate bad water. They like their own company and really 3-4 is the minimum you should get, just take into consideration that fully grown they'll reach about 8-10" each. What are you feeding them? Mine eat anything really, frozen bloodworm, daphnea, brine shrimp, fresh veggies, but not a not a lot of flakes.

They're very playful when they're young - they play hide and seek, chase and sometime scare me by pretending to be dead - one will lay on it's side motionless until I freak out, then it jumps up and I swear he winks at me.
