B&W clowns with pink skunk clowns?

[inky]

Hi, upgrading my tank to a 6x2x2. Currently have a pair of B&W clowns and would love to add a pair of pink skunk clowns. Would there be any problems? I think the pink skunks are peaceful, but may be too shy.....

Anyone see any problems?

No. One pair of clowns per tank.

No. One pair of clowns per tank.

Why is that? I have had 2 pr. (false percs and pink skunks) for four years.
I've not seen any problems with them. Admittedly the ossies are in a frogspawn and the pinks are in a rose BTA but when I moved them into a bigger tank (from a 150 to a 200) I put the ossies in first to let them choose and they went straight to the frogspawn. It took the pinks nearly a week to go back to the BTA.
What are your experiences?

I think you'll easily be able to find 100's of posts of bad experiences when adding more then 2 clowns to a single tank. Of course it can be done, but the odds are against anyone trying. However, there are a few things you can do to better your chances. The size of tank the OP is putting them into will probably increase the chance of these 2 couples doing well.
