Clown question

[zachslow]

Hey everyone,

Recently one of my two two black and white clowns died. It sucks. So now I have one just by itself.

I have a 120 gallon tank, and I'd like to buy another pair of clowns, but this time I plan on getting a picasso pair.

My question is, is it ok to have one b&w clown along with a picasso pair? I don't want it to turn into WWIII in my tank.

Thanks

Most likely it would be an issue, not worth the risk IMO for an expensive pair of picasso's.

I agree with Dave, Its not worth trying in my opinion. To much risk.

Sorry to hear about your clown. I lost a male B/W a few months ago and it definitely sucked. I waited a while and then got another tiny guy to pair up with the female and they did so almost instantly. If the survivor is a female getting a small juvenile from a community tank should work perfectly. As others mentioned, I would not try a 3 clown situation. If you want picasso's, you should remove the B/W

Yeah it wouldnt be good. You could buy one picasso and pair it with your black and white That is one pair that i really want to try.
