Blue Striped anemonefish

[chelltom]

Does anyone have any experience with the Blue striped anemone fish . I wonder if they would be compatible with other species of clowns in the same tank or better to keep separate in pairs . Very nice colors though.,,,,, Thoughts appreciated

Pic you've shared, those are from the Solomon. If you're looking for the ones with yellow tails, they are from Fiji.

They're beautiful clowns. Unfortunately, 99% of them come in with Brooklynella. Be prepare to treat them.

Bummer that sounds Bad what about their compatibility?

Generally clown fish of different species can't be kept in the same tank. There may be some who have been able to do it but I wouldn't recommend trying it unless you have a very large tank.

any others have experience with these ?

Aside from color variation I would have to lump them in with Sebae and Clarkii. IME both are nasty fish that are very aggressive/territorial and will shred fins on other fish especially other clowns. Other than a Maroon a Sebae is the only other fish that ever drew blood on me. I've kept most including those, Tomato, Skunks and Cinnamon. Now I only ever keep a pair of Perculas. Most of the other clowns rank right up there with Damsels.
