Will adding 4 clownfish at the same time to my 150gal be too much?

[kiran]

I want to get these 4 different clownfish after I get my tank cycled, but it was suggested to put them in together to avoid aggression. Will my tank be alright with adding this bioload?

My tank is 150 gal

Thank you!

Suddenly add 20 fish to Established tank

Hi Reefers I need some advice from experts here. So my 65 gallon tank is about 2 years old and was housing 4 fish and around 20+ anemone. Recently I converted into a clownfish harem by adding 20 clownfish all at one time. Suppose 20 is a good number for them not to fight. Right now...

Yes your bioload would be fine however success with more than two clownfish in the same tank is uncommon. Harems from the same clutch seem to be the exception.

Thanks again for the help brandon!

I did end up getting a seneye in the end so I'll be able to monitor ammonia incase anything does spike, but after reading that thread I think 4 clownfish will be fine.

They'll be going in 6-8 weeks after they're done with quarantine. I think I'm going to pick them up soon to get it started and so by the time my tank finishes cycling the clowns should be good to go.

Ah man. Yeah I was getting uncertain answers when I asked in the clownfish forum.

I think in the end I probably won't go for all 4 and maybe throw in 2 clowns and 2 of the blennys instead.
