Another pair of clownfish?

[pitmindi]

Hi, I have a 4' tank that is 90 gallons. I have a pair juvenile tank-bred nemo fish that stay near the powerhead on the top corner. I really like these fish. They are cute and very easy to feed. I dont have an anemone. I have had them about 6 weeks. Can I add another pair of clownfish? I do have a 30 gallon tank that doesn't have any fish that I could move them to if it doesn't work out. What other type of clownfish would give me the best chance of success? Does anyone have two pairs of clownfish in a 4 foot reef tank? My other fish are two anthias, that I recently purchased and find very hard to feed. I would not add the clownfish for a while. I am just thinking about my options.

IMO, it would be a bad idea to add another pair. It might work out in the short term, but once a bonded/mated pair forms, the other pair won't be welcome, and will most likely be killed.

You may be able to get away with a pair of shunk clowns. I'd imagine that if there were a few anenome In there it could work

Bottom line , skip the idea and look for something else to add to your reef tank to compliment it.

I have a pair of mated punk skunks, and they are darn mean. Started off okay, but once they started spawning, that all changed. They go after new fish, in fact when I added a multicolored angel to that tank -- with an existing Potters -- I have more trouble from the skunks then the other angel.

As a rule you have 1 pr per tank period. They might not fight now, but they will later
