Any Clownfish Experts Out there

[Marciebabi]

I really want a another set of clownfish. Currently, I have 2 Paired Stubborn Juvenile Ocellaris Clowns. The tank has a Green BTA that they just don't want to host with. I just love how active and silly the clowns are in the tank and move love to have more than 1 pair. I have read everywhere that it's best to only keep 1 pair per tank.

I have a 35 Gallon Tank with: 2 Ocellaris, 1 Wardley Wrasse, 1 sixline Wrasse, 1 Damsel, 1 Sailfin Tang, 1 Goby, 5 Dwarf Hermits, 3 Turbo snails, 1 Konk

You are at the limit on a 35 gallon tank. An multiple clowns in a tank are not a good idea. Chance of ick break out is Possible.

Not an expert but looks like you are already at capacity for a tank that size. Plus, four clowns will not produce a happy ending under such conditions, IMHO.

arg... Thanks for replying.. ICK break out is definitely not an option. If i do decide to get another pair, I'll just set-up my 10Gal and keep them there with a Nem of some sort.

Agree with prior posts. Side note, you may need a longer term plan for your sailfin tang. They get big (need 180g plus) and 35g is likely to cause health or aggression issues.

Types of Clownfish and the Anemones That Love Them

Not all species of clownfish will set up a home in any type of anemone. Certain species are more likely to be compatible than others.

I have had better luck with clown fish going to a frogspawn before a anenome.

lol... About that... i'm actually saving up for the 220Gal Reef Pro from waterbox. I hope to get that bad boy by the end of the year. I hope my little Skipper (sail fin) doesn't grow that fast. He is about 1.5 inches right now

I definitely will. I hope to post pictures of what I have currently, as soon as my new zoas come in. I just got a rasta zoa colony, psychosis palys, and pink diamond palys.
