i know the rule usually is 2 but could you possibly keep 4 in a 125G tank without too much fighting?
 
I seen on youtube a tank with hundreds and maybe a hundred nems. I thinks it was called anenomie domonate tank.
 
it depends on what kind you want to keep i think. In my case, in my 210, I had a pair of Ocellaris that were adults and spawning. I added a tank raised pair of Tomato Clowns a couple years ago. Everything was fine, each pair had an anemone on opposite sides of the tank. eventually the tomato clowns grew to breeding age and once the female started laying eggs, she dominated the tank and would likely have killed the larger Ocellaris female had i not removed them. Good luck!

well i have two true percs now maybe 2 more true percs how do you think that would work out?
 
I would agree that it depends on the type. May also depend on when they are introduced. I.e., a tank FULL of juvies that grow up may respond better than introducing more after maturity.

And yeah, everything I've ever read about tomato clowns has been pure evil. They're a gorgeous fish, but apparently pretty vicious.
 
You can safely add juveniles of the same species. You could have a bunch as long as you only had the one female. Problems arise when you get 2 mature females and when you mix species.
