They're fairly rapid growers if well fed and housed in a large enough tank -- I'm no expert, but I'd guess about 1" to 2" inches per year for the first 4 or 5 years of life.

I'd say a single clown would be about it...a 6 gallon tank is a hassle, you would need to top off every day... I would suggest going bigger.... but thats just a suggestion.

Look at smaller goby species - they don't get big and generally make 'homes' so don't need to roam like many other species. If you can find a clown goby that is eating (make them feed it and watch him eat), you have a good candidate for a small tank like that.

I think Rikko means that you need to make the folks at the fish store feed the goby and watch to make sure that it's eating before you buy it.
 FWIW, if you could get a larger tank you would have a MUCH greater chance of success. It normally takes a lot of skill and experience to do a small marine tank -- beginners are much better off trying something in the 30g to 55g range, IMO. It's easier to maintain good water chemistry, temp, salinity, etc. HTH, Mariner

Aye, make sure the fish is eating BEFORE you buy it. If it's on a hunger strike in the store, there's not much of a chance that it'll eat later in your tank - it'll probably just starve to death.
That is a generally good rule for most gobies (especially clown gobies) and tangs.
