    I'm curious to why you named this thread the way you did?

    Me too. In a 75, unless there is all but a rock wall down the middle of the tank, I would stick with a pair. At some point they will decent to get rid of the competition. The female from the pair will be the only female and able to kill the others easily.

    If your thinking of having like 50 in there like lfs holding tanks, think again. They would go crazy killing all the weak members, and u might get lucky with a handful that coexist, but anything other that 2 is too many in a 75.

    When you say youll provide nems with out fighting, what do you mean? Do you mean youll have like 6 nems with each hosting its own pair? cuz this would add to aggression imo, that clown is going to hold that nem down for life. any newcomer (specially a clown) would be good as gone.

    i ment i will provide nems, so how many could i keep without them fighting but i have 1 more qust. if i keep my current pair and in the summer transfer them to a larger system like 75gal, i was hoping to keep about 4 different species, will they go from nem 2 nem all day or pick 1
    • long tenacle
    • bubble tip rose/and my new acid rain coralcollection;D
    • saddle carpet
    • flower nems and i know they wont host them but flower nems are my fav
