150 Gallons with Multi Clowns Tryout.

[Deepsea2005]

After 4 months of rebuilding the tank, and one month of raising the fish which I received from one of my good friends, the adventure began; I just introduced the fish to anemones last week.
I really don't know if the fish will fight in the future, as of now, they seem to co-exist just fine.
I will monitor them closely, and will take them out as soon as they start fighting.
I think I will give it a year before saying if it is a success or a failure.

Tank: 150 gallons (36" x 40" x 24")
Light: 12 T5s (39w)
Anemones: one 16" Haddoni, one 24" Mertensi.
Clown fish: around 70 three month old babies.

Looks like some of them are already starting to fight, but if this is a new setup maybe they just need time to establish a hierarchy. Good luck

Great tank! I love that haddoni. I hope your experiment with the multiple clowns works out.

Update?

Pericyte,

Clowns are healthy and grow fast ( I feed them twice a day).
Other than that, there is nothing change.
My goal is to see if they are still "live happy together" at the end of this year.
I will keep you update.

 

[Pericyte]

That's pretty amazing. Congrats and best of luck to you, I look forward to reading if the clowns 'live happy together' as they mature.

Yes, it was hurt. Especially, it was my mistake.
This time, there will be no error from my part.

 

[Deepsea2005]

So far so good.

Amazing...thank you for sharing

In a group that unnaturally large it'd be interesting to observe if two clowns will form a pair and become dominant over the rest of the group; or if multiple pairs will form and will create separate turfs with subordinate clowns like they do in the wild living in groups of 2-6 clowns (A.
