ocellaris clownfish and tomato/ maroon clown

[James Black]

Hey,
I know that If I keep 3 ocellaris clownfish, the two will pair up and kill the one. But Can I put a ocellaris clownfish pair in a 50 Gallon tank with on maroon or tomato clownfish. will the maroon/ tomato clownfish get killed? How do I keep multiple clownfish in the same tank, do I need each clown to be in a pair?

You can’t. The maroons will kill off the other clowns. Only one pair of clowns will fit in that tank

Could I do, one maroon and one tomato clown and then no ocellaris clowns

No they will fight till death. One type of clownfish will work in your tank

I once tried to keep a Maroon and a Tomato Clown in a 45g; they fought fiercely all the time..... Finally had to get rid of the Tomato (as the Maroon is my favorite species of clownfish).....
