Is it possible to have a pair of Ocellaris in a 20 gallon tank?

I would say you would be fine with a 20 gallon for a pair. That's bare minimum in my opinion.

With weekly WC a ten gallon works amazing as am office, bedroom or kitchen for clowns.
Your in great shape with a 20. |

i had a pair of ocellaris clowns in a 10gal for 3 years and they were happy as can be. Hosted my zoas, spawned numerous times and they shared the tank with a pistol shrimp/yellow watcman goby pair. With a 20 your good to go 100%

My daughter kept her pair in a 14g Bio with no issues. I don't see how a 20 would be any problem at all.

I had a pair in a 10g. They were perfectly fine. They ate
Now in a 150. Up to their same antics. For the mist part they pick a fav spot in the tank and stay there.
