adding 2 clowns with 2 existing clowns

[Susan Edwards]

I have a 79" 240 g tank with 2 darwin clowns. I'm going to take down a 2nd tank, a 45 g with 2 clowns. I smaller as I got it for the first one. Can I have 4 clowns in the big tank. The darwins tend to stay on the right side for the most part. Pic to show landscaping. I know I can add the damsels, blenny, watchman and pistol (I do have 1 in big tank)

Not in my experience. Quite possibly could be like a scene from gladiator with two left standing/swimming.
You could try while the 2nd tank is still available in case there is trouble.

I don't see why not considering all of the space your tank has

I added two to my 4 breeding pair in December which was part of a tank buyout. Knowing they are territorial, I took the chance and surprisingly all went smooth. . . . . UNTIL THIS PAST MONDAY, one of the new percs were tearing my snowflake apart- and jabbing at one of my favorite mochas. I grabbed the net and quickly scooped the female and in ire flushed her- (NOT DEALING WITH THIS- especially in a huge tank loaded with coral). Just yesterday caught the male perc going after same mocha- He is in my sump and is actually free to whoever wants it!!
It is permanently evicted from entering the display ever again
Speaking of which, I have not seen my female snowflake which ive had 4 years and can assume the female may have done more damage than I realized. NO MORE new clowns for me
