Clownfish Compatibility

[giambi4343]

I have two ocellaris clowns in my 96 gallon tank now. A friend of mine offered me his mated pair of black ocellaris clowns. The clowns I have now have not laid eggs but the black ocellaris' have. Would they get along together in my tank? I have over 100 pounds of live rock and plenty of hiding places. Let me know what you think- I need an answer as soon as possible please!
Thank-you.

I personally wouldn't do it. It might work in the short term, but, IMO, I see you ending up with just a 1 pair of clowns -- with the established pair killing the new ones.

Bad idea. youll end up with one pair fast. Your original clowns most likely would lose.Ive had a couple pairs of black and whites, and they get very aggressive around other clowns.
