can I have two sets of clowns?

[texgirl]

I have two GBTA and RBTA. I have a pair of gold stripe marron. The GBTA is on the other side of my 125 long. the marrons are in RBTA. I was thinking about gettin a pair of black percs.

I wouldn't if I were you, being that the GSM'S are some of the meanest clowns I know of and highly territorial. also the BTA that is on the other side of the tank may not stay there. I see where you are going with this as to the distance between the BTA'S and hoping that the clowns wouldn't run into each other. One other thing is that if memory serves BTA'S are not natural hosts for Perculas and they may not even take up residence in it to start with, even though it takes place in captivity all the time including in my own tank at home.

I agree. Mixing clowns is always risky and especially w/ gsm.
What you have going is good because many times even a mating pair of GSM's will need space from each other especially as they get older.
My GSM was one of the sweetest fish for 1st 6 mo. then became the meanest clown I've ever had.
In reef discusion forum there is a thread ;" Hosting Anemones, eveything you need to know"
Good reading and lists what nems host which clowns

thank you for your replys

thank you for your replys

I will not add the black percs. I just saw them and had a I want bug. Now that I have done some reading I'll let them go to a better home.


Thanks

I have a pair of pink skunks and true percs in a 90 gallon and they are fine together.

I just added a pair of pink skunks w/ my pair of false percs in my 90gal.
Everyone seems cool
I think shape and color is different enough to be OK
Pinks are already in both nems and passing food to nems.
