![]() I have about 90#'s of live rock in there, lotsa hiding spaces, just don't want him to spend his life hiding.
He came from my GF's tank (15gal) that had lotsa corals, but kept getting a bacterial infection from rubbing on something (lost both pectoral fins). I'd give him out to someone if I knew he would have a good home. he is very personable and friendly. Bot tanks I have have pairs of blacks in them, and I would hate him to get hurt too badly. -mc |

![]() Unfortunately I think he would be hiding lots...just the nature between clowns sometimes. Still anything can happen in the fishworld...they may just pick their respective zones and be just fine, however if you do try to introduce them , make sure you reposition a bunch of rock and maybe introduce him at dusk so that if they do go at each other it will be for a minimum of time. Good luck

![]() Could try the mirror trick too. IMO its rare but not totally impossible for two different types of clowns to co-exist.

![]() I tried to keep a pair of true perc's with a pair of cinnamon clowns. The true perc's were in the system first, and were larger. Everything was fine for about 6 months until the cinnamon clowns grew larger than the true perc's. The cinnamon clowns would leave their side of the tank and beat up the true perc's for a while, pushing them out of their anemone, before going back to their side of the tank. I tried the mirror trick with no luck.

![]() from what i understand, maroons can get big and nasty. would worry about the beautiful and pricey blacks. is it worth the risk on a "chance" they might be ok?

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. ![]() |

![]() Maroons and Ocellaris (black or otherwise) is a bad idea. When the Maroon is small the O's will beat it up. When the Maroon gets big it will kill the Blacks. Not a good situation in any case.

![]() Yeah, I though of that too.
Think I'll try to find a much smaller maroon, and see if they will get along. Just don't want him living his life alone in a small 10gal |
