2 pairs

[MMM33732]

Anyone foresee any problems with putting 2 mated pairs of ocellaris clowns into a 125 as long as both pairs are on opposite sides with their own anemones? Both would be new to the tank, so no one pair would be established already...

It's anybody's guess whether they will survive together or not.

How do you plan on keeping the anemones and clowns on their own end of the tank?

If the pairs are already "paired up" then what you will be doing is putting 2 females in the same tank and that is asking for trouble. What will probably happen is one female will kill the other one and then at some point she will kill the other male. If you are putting 4 fish in that have no relationship then you will end up with 1 female and 3 males and then she will pick off 2 of the males at some point. Just my .02

might work...but might not...keep us posted...oneof the nem might move from one end to the other...which will in turn take the clowns with it...so that might cause problems...

Even if you have two anemones on either end of the tank each with its own pair of clowns, you are going to have little episodes between the two pairs.

So its crazy talk then if some will end up being killed in the end. Thanks for your input.
