Introducing small clown into tang territory

[BlueWorldAquatic]

Consider a Black Ocelleris, or a True Perc. Both are not as docile as most.

Skunk clowns aren't too bad either.

Thanks, I'll have a look around for those

Clownfish are different enough from tangs and angels that IME you shouldn't have any issues. How big is your tank? As long as it's a decent size I can't see it being a problem.

Edit: I saw on your link that you have a 65g, you should be fine adding a clownfish. However a 65g is a bit small for a tang, if you want to keep the tang you should upgrade your tank size to at least a 90g.

It's a 65 gallon, 4 ft long.

Laurie,

I have a Scopus Tang that likes to torment my 2 Blacky's all the time.

Maybe because my tank is so large that's why I've never had any problems with tangs, angels and clowns getting along? However when I had my 120g they all still got along in it, even in the 65g I started with (just before I upgraded to the 120g) all 3 types of fish got along just fine.

I threw a tiny false perc in my 125 gallon, and all the fish, including a yellow tang, didn't bother it. There are anemones in there, but it isn't hosting them, so doesn't have the protection of the anemone.

Whats the chance of a Maroon clown hosting in a torch or hammer coral? and will they pick on Trachyphyllia?? Cause if I was a fish I would be dining on that thing... looks like a delicate dessert!
