My clownfish are racists!

I have 6 clown fish... 3 that are orange and white and three that are black and white... one of the black and white ones, has an orange face...

none of the other five clown fish will hang out with him! Poor little guy! Lol

Maybe that one's just a snob and won't hang out with the other 5?

Are you planning a harem? 6 clowns in a mixed reef is likely to bring out some aggression, and they will kill someone. Most only recommend 2 in a tank unless it's quite large.

That’s hilarious! ...snob... smh lol

It’s a 200 gallon tank and so far there hasn’t been any aggression. I have been watching for it. I’ve been leaning on a local professional in my set up... he has been great, but... I have noticed I ended up with a lot of what ever he had a lot of in his shop. I have now taken control of “my” tank! But yea, I did end up with “too” many of a few things

my fish load right now is (from largest to smallest)
2 spotted eels
1 Foxface
1 a blue Hippo Tank
5 Cardinal fish
1 Fairy Wrasse
6 clown fish
