Good luck, I tried something similar with 6 juvenal clowns twice. First time I ended up with 2, second with 3. They seemed to start fighting at 8-12 months of age when they start turning male and they either kill each other or you have to remove them.

Thanks EnderG60.
I have a 9 schooling clowns (Onyx, Picasso..) which have been living together for more than a year now. They are quarreled but accepted each other.
I think I have a luxury that I have big tanks and they are well fed.
We'll see how it folds out in the future.

Great update. With your 9 schooling clowns, how many anemones host the 9? Do they rotate through anemones, dispersing interaction, or all stay together in a big anemone?

Pericyte,

There are 3 very big anemones in 300 tank. Most of the time, they are stay/hang out at the Gig, some times, they venture to the two LTAs.
I think I have an Onyx pair, 2 picassos, and 5 designers. There was a MCcullochi in there but I just moved it to the 150g.

Your mertens looks to be in fantastic condition. What and how often do you feed it?

Taylor,
Thanks, I dont feed it. It is very big.

Wow, that is gorgeous and amazing!

I know a local breeder that keeps tons of the same species in their own small tanks, but he told me if you mix them they'll start becoming more aggressive once they need to compete for reproduction rights.

Looks awesome. Would love to have a massive clown harem one day.

It does look cool, and the fact they are all from the same clutch makes a greater chance of success, that's where many seem to go wrong w/ clown multiples, especially after a couple years when they have matured.
I like the mertensi, don't see a whole lot of those.

I guess you don't see much Mertensis because they are getting very big after a while.
