Picasso or Da Vinci with almost naked clownfish

[canadianeh]

Is it okay to get one of each? Either one Picasso or da Vinci clownish and almost naked clownfish. So two different clownfish in 65 gallons Red Sea Reefer 250. Will they pair up and not fight?

They will be fine as long as they are not the same size when you get them, the bigger will become the dominant female and the smaller one will become the male, if you get them the same size expect some fighting for a couple days but after a while it should be fine.

All are ocellaris. They’ll be fine to pair up together. Agree with getting two that are different sizes if you can. They are probably gonna fight regardless of what you do though, just be prepared to weather the storm.

so just get the juvenile ones then?

how to guarantee no fighting? Same color?

There isnt any way to guarantee no fighting, however if you add them in at the same time there is a chance that they wont fight, and you can get them the same color or different colors it doesnt make a difference.

They fight to determine dominance, eventually the stronger becomes the female. Even now, i have a mated pair that constantly lay eggs, the female is the one that will go after my hand if i put it in the tank, the male doesnt care.
