Clown mixing

[d-maz]

I have a pair of Black and white ocellaris clowns and was wondering if I can mix a normal orange ocellaris or perc in with them. I have a 90 gallon tank and my clowns now stay on the right side of my tank and never go past the middle of the tank.

Thanks, Dave

A third clown may not get along, but some have reported success. I think you're best to just keep the three, but if my heart was set on it here is what's I'd do:

Buy the orange clown, and monitor very closely, but have a new home or tank ready for him if the adjustment doesn't go well.

I'd bet against you every time. A pair of clowns will very rarely tolerate a third wheel. If you add the orange, you'll likely end up with just two clowns again somewhere along the road.

Thanks for the replies.
