3 clowns in one tank

[thatguy]

I have a mated pair of Maroon Clowns in a 75. My friend is leaving the country and wants me to take his Ocellaris. I'm pretty sure my clowns will not like this, but thought I would check before I said no.

I think you're right and I wouldn't try it if it were me.

Im sure the ocellaris would get destroyed.

i wouldn't try it with a pair of maroons and an osc...if they were all osc or percs then maybe...

right now i have a mated pair of picasso clowns and another smaller picasso clown all in a 20 gallon with no problem for the past week but i might just be lucky or pressing it.

the mated pair don't bother the bachelor at all...they even let the bachelor swim around next to them and follow them around in the tank. the mated pair nip at each other all the time just like a married couple but leave the little guy alone.

I think the occ would get thrashed in about 30 seconds

is there a pool going on? is the over-under set at 30 secs?

I'd put $100 on UNDER 30 seconds
