adding clown fish with established clowns.

[mhsmith]

I have 2 clowns that I have had from the beginning of my venture into salt water aquariums which has been about 10 years ago. They were my first fish that were placed in my tank. They are now on my 3rd and last ( I think) tank upgrade. I have at least 10 anemones that are thriving in my most current tank that are huge. The clowns go from one anemone to another. I would like to get another pair of clowns, and am eyeing some snow flake or blizzard pair. The gold flake maroon is another option. Do you think this would be a problem? My tank is 96x36x42.

What type of clowns do you have now?

 

[mhsmith]

They are the basic perculas, not tank bred

 

[Jemhidiah]

Possibly if they were very small juveniles but it's really a crap shoot with fish.

I guess I know the answer I was hoping with the size of the tank that everyone could be a happy family, but the realist in me made me post the question. I think I knew the answer before I posted but was hoping for a more positive answer. Thanks

I took a chance with a 30 tank ready lol I have clarkis and orcelias clowns all 4 swim as a group and the clarkis thought the others what a anemome was for lol. Also the orcelias were in there 4 months before the clarkies? Buy the way they live in a 75 gallon tank

The usual answer is.. Don't do it; because it almost always ends in death.
