Any chance of keeping 2 pairs of occ in a 180 gallons?

[Chipie]

I'm thinking of getting a 180 gallons and putting my livestock from my 2 actual tanks in it.
The problem is i have 2 pairs of black and white occelaris. They are both hosted by bubble tip anemones that would also go into that 180 gallons. Do you think that if i put them on each side of the 6 foot tank that it could work out?
Thanks

First, you can't count on the anemones staying on either ends of the tank, they will go to where they are going to be happiest.

Personally I wouldn't do it -- have tried it in the past, and it always ended up bad.

The size of your tank might help, but this is really going to be a crap shoot. Could work for a while and then one day -- when one of the pairs starts to spawn, WWIII could break loose.

You have to decide if it is worth the risk, and if it doesn't work out, how easy would it be to remove one of the pairs.

I would not try it with 2 pairs of the same color.B&W are notoriously mean.
