clowns

is it ok to keep 2 of the same species of clown fish in the same tank?

i'm looking to get 2 percula's and 2 Premnas biaculeatus (maroon clown).

 

Maroons are usually agressive towards other clowns. Add them after the percs and if your lucky you will not get any fighting. JMO

Marc.

 

as long as they dont peck each other to death, thats my main concern.

 

Your taking a chance in a tank that size with 4 clown fish and different species.  Maroons can be moody.  I had to but my maroon and tomato clown together for a day and they fought like cats and dogs. If you do put multiple clowns in together, put them all in at the same time.  IMHO, i wouldn't do it.  Maybe others have an opinion on this?

 

I second RAVEN's thoughts. One species one tank IMO

nah go ahead and add them just be sure at the same time. my two are best friends. it all depends on the fish but i had good luck. they swim side by side, and dont even fight for food.

 

ok, i guess it all depends on the individual fish. I might try it, if they start fighting alot i will have to return 1, but which one...... =)

thnx guys!!
