Introducing Maroon Clown

[Kunala6]

Hi,

I am adding a new maroon clown to my 75 gallon tank. I already have 2 da vinci clowns and 1 lightning. I put the new clown in
a breeder box to prevent fights. Hopefully after a few days or a week they will get use to each other. I would like to know if
anyone has tried anything like this and the outcomes. I did something same with my scopas and yellow tang and it worked,
they didn't fight and got along.

Thank You
Kunal

So you are adding clown #4 to a 75? And it's going the be the single most agressive and largest species of clown that exists? This is not a good idea

Please monitor them closely. Anything is possible, but I don't expect this to end well. Is there anyway that you can separate your DaVinci and your Maroons into separate tanks?

Maroons are extremely territorial and can get really big. Bigger than most people realize. They’re also hard to pair with other maroons. So you’ll need to watch closely. If the maroon is larger than your other clowns, it may not go over well.

The Da Vincis are bit bigger, maybe 0.5" to 1.0" bigger, the maroons are bit smaller maybe about an 1.0" to an 1.5". I had the lightning maroon in a nano with 2 other clowns fish a misbar and a darwin. They were all peaceful in there, but being that this a bigger tank and it has established it's territory it could be a different outcome. I agree will have to keep a close eye on them cause I can see the lightning is not a fan of the new maroon in it's area.
