    Hey guys,
    It's Mike in Orlando, FL. Question about my new tank I'm planning 65 gallon reef tank. I want to have 2 clowns but want to know if a black and white ocellaris clown (hope i have that name right) will be ok in the same tank as a regualr orange and white ocellaris clown, or percula picasso clown, or a snowflake or a platinum. Basically I want a black and white clown with one of the others in my aquarium. Let me know guys and sorry if I messed up any of those names. Thanks.

    Mike

    so long as it big enough for the big red nose and floppy shoes...............................................

    ha. anyways, although the can get kinda aggresive i would think you would be fine with 2 in a 65 gallon. plus the fact that they are different color might even help out more.

    They will be fine. There was a member on here with a black/white clown and an orange/white clown in a breeding pair. I can't remember his handle though.

    its a flip of a coin. my red saddle back harrasses my percula, but I think they finally have a understanding that they stuck with each other.. so its not so bad.

    Thanks guys. I appreciate the 411. That's what my local LFS said since they were the same breed different colors they should be fine. How the heck do I get my status off plankton lol? What am I part of Sponge Bob Square Pants lol.

    they should do just fine together.

    your plankton status will change to something else as you post more posts.
