Mixing Clown species

[ed99]

My experience is similar. I used to have 3 skunks and an ocellaris in a 92g bow front (about 3' across) and the skunks had the ocellaris cowering in the corner. They let him live but I don't think he was enjoying himself!

Still, it was iffy getting the 2 species to accept each other.

If you try it in your 4' tank, be prepared to pull out one species if the expt. doesn't go well.
