    Can you mix clown fish? I have 2 gold striped maroons and was wondering if it would be ok to add a couple percula's or others.

    What do you think?

    I kinda know that and heard/read that in many places but the two I have are so sweet. I can almost pet them they are so nice.

    One is about 4'' and the other is 2.5'' and they do not bother anyone in the tank now....I have a couple tangs, a damsel, a bi-color, a goby, and a lemonpeel angel.

    hmmm....

    the maroons probably have a 80% chance of killing the percs.
