More than one type of clowns in a tank??

[Doo]

My Gold stripe maroon would not tolerate it...

if you have a pair it might be a little difficult.

I dont think it would be a good idea, if your clowns are that old I dont think they will like any other clowns comming in the tank, I tried it with my clowns and didnt work out well. You have a much larger tank tho so it could work !

We thought it would work, each on their own side of the tank (in a 5ft with center island) but eventually had to remove the one pair, as they were picked on.

That's pretty much what we thought, we were just hoping that with this 6' tank they might stay in their own territory. Oh, well. Anyone had any luck introducing a couple of different tangs in a tank at the same time?

well, i start with a pair false perc in my 150 gallon on the right hand side and then in couple months I put pair of Black Onyx True Percula on the left and a Tomato clown in the middle. The reason i can do this because I bought them along with their anomonies/frogspawn host.

For the first couple days, the female of false perc show aggression to true percs but got chased aways because it is 2 vs 1 battle. And now, one pair is on the left and others is on the right. The big clown tomato is in the middle and is the boss, she shows aggression to both pair of clowns when they swim to middle of the tank and eventual chase them back to their hosts. It has been 4 months now and no loss in fin or whatsoever, just a little bit chasing here and there by the clown tomato when dinner time.

I am very happy with my tomato clown because she helps separating these clowns.

Good luck :-)

I tried this not too long ago on a 4 foot long 125 gallon tank. I had an established pair of Ocellaris Clownfish since the summer, and tried adding a pair of skunk clowns. Initially, they Ocellaris Clownfish divided the 2 skunks apart, and started going after each one individually. After the first day though, the skunks got back together, and only the female Ocellaris Clownfish was going after the 2 clownfish. This went on for quite a while until eventually, i removed the female Ocellaris Clownfish. The male Ocellaris Clownfish could care less that the skunk clowns are in there, and the skunks vice-versa. I'm going to try adding a small Ocellaris Clownfish to pair up with the one that is currently in there.
I gave this a try because I read on reefcentral about people doing it successfully. It was tense when the fighting was going on and my midas blenny was trying to play referee with little success.

my maroons don't have any problem with my ocillarous
