[wilvivas]

i have false's hosting in a G. mag in a 90 g.
can i get 2 clarkii's? i love them and i want more!
have 2 tangs in there and a pygmy.

 

[TheVillageIdiot]

what kind of tangs?

Yes, you can add clarkii's to that tank and then watch as they KILL eachother... :-(

It's sad, i know, it'd be nice if they could share...

 

[Chupacabras]

IOW, no, only one pair of clowns.

 

[GSMguy]

clarkis will kill the fale percs

 

[AquaReeferMan]

Yeah I wouldnt attempt 2 pairs. This usually leads to the death of the weaker pair.

I have 2 pairs in my tank. One pair of true percs and one pair of saddlebacks. But that is a 130 and they can't see each other as they both have nems at oppsosite ends of the tank kinda hidden behind rocks. The female saddleback occasionely ventures out to check out the percs and then goes back to her nem. The saddleback is about 4 inches as is the perc. But in all honesty i wouldn't try it in a 90. I just got lucky. And who knows it could turn bad a one point as only the saddles have spawned and not the percs.

darn... so i wouldn't be able to add any other clowns eh? they are hosting at the very back of the tank....
i won't try though, unless you have suggestions on a compatible pair....

 

[GSMguy]

no they are territorial they fight

 

[stykthyn]

in a 90 you *might* be able to squeeze in another pair of false percs, but the time to do that would have been when the tank was stocked. anything now is going to be risky

Not recommended.
For every person who says that they do successfully keep more than a single pair in a tank, you have 1,000 people who have had fighting fish, territorial struggles, and dead fish.
