clown fish

hey folks how is it going. so i have two pairs of clowns black and white O. and orange and white O. so my question is i just added the black ones. orange been in for a month or so. will the black ones split up and pair with a orange one. or is it anyones guess.

 

Is this in a 55g? I'd remove 2 of them, chances are they will pair up and start fighting the others until you only have 2 clowns left

 

no i think you remeber my other tank
i t is a 180

 

It's anyone guess.

You may end up with 1 dominate female and a dominate male and sexually immature male. You may end up with 2 pairs. In that large of a tank and as they mature relationships may change.

I imagine your first pair will stay together.

How old and how big are these Clown Fish?

 

the two blacks are about 1" to 1.5" the two orange are under 1 "

as for how old i am not sure i am assuming by size half year to a yearish

 

That sounds about right.

Are you going to add anemones?

 

yes i am tank has been going about a month or so now so in like it fills like forever. i am probably going to catch crap for this but i think i am going to add one in 4 or five months. i had really good luck with my 55 gal. so i am going to try my luck, i think if my water stays good between now and them.

 

I see no problem what so ever with that.

BTA are pretty darn hardy if that is the type you are looking at.

Once you add Anemones they might change everything up as well. I had a friend with 180 gallon he ended up with 3 Clowns after all was said and done, one was always hanging by it's self, the other two never even gave it a second thought.

 

so far that is kinda how mine is resembling sometimes two hang out on one side the other two on the other. and sometimes it is three and one. i hope it dont turn out that way cause i love my black ones i have always wanted them and my kids love the orange ones. i think every one know why?!?!

 

thank you fro the input and thoughts.
