I am considering shutting down my 45g corner tank and moving the inhabitants to the 150g. Just tp much work with both tanks right now. Main question, would the clowns get along? I have a pair in each tank right now and not sure if they will get along?
Thx in advance

Chances are no. Just my opinion, tried it once, no success. They two pair were constantly squabbling, and within days had to be separated.

I have a single saddleback and it has it's own anemone, and a single maroon with it's own anemone. They don't fight, but they are singles. I have their anemones placed on opposite sides of the seven foot width of the tank. The saddleback on occasion will chase the maroon but there is no real fighting. For a pair of two different species, I really wouldn't know.
I never had any luck, tried to keep a few and well you can guess what happened.
For such cute little fish's they can sure be nasty. By the way I want to here your story
it sounds umm interesting. Re: Women :wink:

ive got 3 pairs in my 110 and as long as the black percs stay away from the ocellaris there fine and noone seems to care about the skunks at all, but i may just be lucky to:biggrin:
In a big tank like that, I've heard of people being successful keeping two pairs when each pair had it's own anemone.

We recently shut down two salts, so put two pairs, black and orange, together in one 100g. There was a little sqabling and wanting to trade anemones but everything fine now.

What types of clownfish are the pairs? That can make a world of difference.
I tried a pair of true perc's and a pair of cinnamons. I worked until the cinammons outgrew the true perc's and then they wouldn't leave them alone until I removed the true perc's from the tank. Maroon clowns and tomatoe clowns are pretty aggressive as well.

If one pair is Maroon or one of the other more aggressive species, it will be difficult.
If they are all true percs or ocellaris or skunks, doable in a 6' tank.

Got 3 Clarki Clowns and 2 Percs in a 180. They all seem to get along fine as long as they don't go into each others territories.

Both pairs are perc's. I think I will keep the smaller tank, for the smaller fishies I have. we'll see
Thx all for the replies.
