clownfish

hi all can i introduce two orange and white clownfish and two black and white clownfish to the same tank at the same time will they get on if they are the same species

any help on this subject would be much appreciated ;D

 

Iv found that clown fish are really hit and miss. Some get along great but then you find those few that want nothing to do with each other. If you have enough room in your tank (surface area not height) then they should each be able to establish there own territory and get along fine.

I have a clarkii and a false perc that absolutely hate each other. The clarkii stays with an anenome on one side of the tank and the false perc stays on the other side in the rock work.

 

cool my tank is 60" long so do you think that would be enough serface area mate thanks for the reply by the way

 

I think that would be enough since you are introducing them at the same time. Good luck I hope all goes well.

 

cheers mike for the info on this subject much appreciated

 

Im feeling more confident in your clowns getting along now that I measured my tank and realized its only 36" long and I brought my clowns in seperate. Your should do fine.

 

I get that question alot at work..The fact is Mike is correct--Some will and some wont. People always ask us why we can keep so many in a small tank in the store. The reason is because they are juveniles-Alot of the time aggresion starts at sexual maturity. I have seen this happen. Had a tank full of Tomato Clowns that had been fine for months. Then the large one all of the sudden started pounding on the others. Had to be separated after he killed one.

 

cool cheers for that info to i will be getting them as young then hopefully and a big maybe when they grow together have two or at least one mating pairs
