Clown Fish Help

[moonlightdriver]

I was wondering if a pair of pink skunk clown fish would get a long with a ocellaris/percula clownfish ... I am not sure which one it is... I have a mated pair of pink clownfish that I want to put into a tank with a ocellaris/percula clownfish... I am not sure which type it is...

Is there going to be a problem?

It's a 75 gal tank

Current fish:
Scopas tank
6 line wrasee
watchman goby
pajama cardinal
a couple damsels..

i wouldnt if i were you. just my 2 cents. instead why dont you get a smaller companion for the ocellaris/perc instead. if they single clown is bigger than the pair it might be a bad idea, but if its smaller, might be okay. just one of things that you dont really know unless you try it out. but others have tried and many have failed.

Thanks... i have two tanks.. I have a 75 coral tank and a 55 FO tank... and I want to tank down the 55 ... so I thought I could put those fish in there ... but I don't want to lose them... so I will hold off

i'd bet no, sounds like your going to have your hands full already(damsels,six line)

I currently have a pink skunk clown in a 180 gallon tank with about 5 ocellaris clowns and they ignore each other. Prior to this tank they were in a 120g together with no issues. There was for a period of time a Clarkii clown in the tank that they were very aggressive to.

BUT, your 75g tank is pretty well stocked and I wouldn't add anything else to it. Also, for what its worth, I don't think you should keep any type of tang in a 75g tank. Even though the scopas is a smaller tang they deserve to have a lot of swimming room. Just my two cents.

IMO there are 4 or 5 tangs that a 75g, that was 'scaped and stocked properly, would accommodate nicely....z. scopas being among them.

I wouldn't do it, but there have been some people that have had success. The pair may be alright now, but when they start getting older and ready to breed, they could decide to stop accepting the odd clownfish.
