So about 2 weeks ago now I got an Orange Storm Clown in thats super small. Like barely 1" GREAT looking clown, very healthy and active, feeds very well on both brine shrimp and loaded pellets. He's had my 75g 36" long display tank all to himself. Done very well, likes to hang out in the back corner near the top, but comes out to eat like he's on the Indy 500.
Fast forward to 36 hours ago, local guy was selling a pair of Longfin clowns. These guys are already bonded and very good size. Like maybe just over 2", 2 1/2", something like that. Pretty decent size clowns. I've brought them home, got them all acclimated and put them in with "Steve" my Orange Storm.
They stayed on their sides respectively. The bonded pair I'm now calling "Ben & Jerry" They hung out for about 2-3 hours on the right side, Steve on the left.
I decided to go ahead and feed and see how they do. They all did amazing, it ended up bringing all 3 together on the left side, they all ate like pigs (4x I might add, I add a little bit, if they eat it all, I add more, they eat it all, etc.) Now they all seem to be hanging out together, I haven't seen Ben or Jerry chase Steve at all even during feedings. Granted its only been like 36 hours, but they seem to be doing well, I was super afraid they were going to try to kill Steve and I've got a nano tank I'm setting up tomorrow that will be instant cycled and was going to put Steve in it. Its a 16g so it would just basically be him and maybe a firefish and some shrimp later on.
Now I'm rethinking that. Is it possible to have a Trio of Clowns bonded? Or should still plan on Putting Steve in the Nano to be safe?
