What happens is the largest two become a pair and beat up the smaller fish. The smallest eventually died because all the larger clowns picked on it. If you just have a pair of the same species they act like two kids in love most of the time. It is cute. Show a Pic?? Can you keep 3 fish of the same species together?
I'm new to the site so I wasn't sure where to post the picture. Does anyone have any other suggestions? IME clowns don't mix. Even if you have peace in your tank for a year and a half the risk that they will go after one another is to high happened to me.
If your going to try to pair your Clarki I would get one smaller than the one you have maybe smallest you can find. They will probably fight over dominance,but if you get lucky they'll pair up. Good Luck! May not happen now but your putting them together with high chances of them being bullied. Thread Tools. David A. Unusually pale compared to its clownfish cousins, the pink skunk clown is easily bullied due to its docile nature.
This species likes to live in small groups while sharing a single large anemone. The pink skunk clowns grows to about 4 inches long and can live for over 20 years in captivity! Saddleback clowns reach between 4 and 5 inches in length and semi-aggressive in nature.
They like to stick close to their anemone host and can be kept with smaller, more docile fish. Easy to care for, this species can thrive in a community tank environment. Like their close cousin the cinnamon clownfish, tomato clowns are about 5 inches long, semi-aggressive and territorial in nature.
They grow about 4 inches long and tend to be more peaceful than their larger clown cousins and therefore can do quite well in a community tank environment. Keeping clownfish in a community tank depends not only on how much room they have but also on their size and individual temperaments. Contrary to popular belief, not all species of clownfish can live together in harmony. Cinnamon clowns, for example, should be kept with bigger species like tomato or saddleback clowns.
The only time they should be kept with a smaller species, like true percula clowns, is if you have a very large tank with plenty of hiding places for the perculas to retreat to. Maroon clowns are very big and highly aggressive. That said, you should only keep 2 maroons together in an aquarium — one male and one female, if possible — regardless of tank size. Saddleback clowns are fairly docile and can be kept with other smaller clownfish like the true percula, for example. You can also keep saddlebacks with cinnamon or tomato clowns, but your tank must be very large and preferably planted.
True percula clowns are the easiest to keep and usually get along well with each other. I lost 1 clown, the larger female.
Can I now add a normal Ocellaris clown to my 1 black and white Ocellaris clown. Should I add a smaller male, or a larger female? No anemone yet, will get one when I get the other clown. Location JH Queens. I d say no. Mixing clowns is a bad idea, unless u have a large tank.
Ocellaris clowns are the least aggressive clowns, so most likely it will take a beating or get killed. Anyone with who actually mixed clowns, please chime in.
Deanos Active Reefer. Location Bronx, NY Of course you can mix Ocellaris clowns Always try adding a smaller clown than the one already established in your tank. It'll help to reduce aggression in the newcomer. Sean New Reefer.
Location Brooklyn. Deanos said:. Click to expand Location Upper East Side. Dean and Sean and anyone else : To the best of your knowledge, have a pair that are different color variants ever spawned? I know that color is very important in salt water fish for different cues, like mating. In reality, the black and the orange ocellaris would likely have only a small overlap zone since the black ones are pretty much constrained to the great barrier reef, from what I have read.
So while the orange and black clowns might recognize each other as the same species, would they recognize a possible mate? Location Da B - X.
