More Clowns?

[Doug]

They dont cross the tank , now. My large breeding pair would kill anything I put in their tank but as yours are smaller and the tanks huge, {esp. with lots of rock}, you may be ok.

I once had a pair of orange skunks living in my once featured huge bubble coral. I added a small pair of blue striped cinnamon clowns and they never even looked at each other AND, all four lived in the bubble coral.

That being said, I have seen numerous attempts at adding another clown to a single. Usually ends in the death of the new comer.

Yours are small yet and do have their own home, so it may work, as long as the new pair stays out of their place.

Very nice and black. Tank raised. Great looking fish.

Well of course this morning, my bigger clown is cruising the tank. Never really went past the middle but she seems to be exploring.

Not sure if I will bother risking it. It would be a $70 plus tax experiment that I can't afford right now going wrong.

Ya, I hear you. When I have tried things like that over the years, with a variety of fish, I have always been ready to go in and get them if not working out. Big commitment, but something I usually decided. And there have been the odd time I have had to.

Yeah see thats where the problem is. I wouldn't really have a back up plan which isnt fair to the new clowns. It would be easy enough to sell them on here but getting them out of this tank once they go in would be nearly impossible without taking the tank apart.

J&L also has Picasso Clowns right now...kind of tempted.
