Hi all.. Wondering if a pair of skunk clown and a pair of false clown can co exist in a tank if i add them together? Without any anemone?
Thanks...
 
In this case size matters, I tried a pair of ocellaris and a pair of Blue stripes in my 180 and it was war, the Blues where bigger then the ocellaris and drove them to the back corners. I had to remove them and now they have there own 50G world with there nem and Watchman goby.

It would be a 50G...
I guess it would be impossible... Since Bro. rreddick have tried two pair of different specie of clown fish in such a big tank without success...
 
Not really reccomended, but I wouldn't say impossible on this one.
Usually I suggest no clown mixing, but a skunk is different enough in shape/color and usually tank raised falses are on the passive side.
I had this combo in my 90 for a while and never had a problem.
I just got bored w/ the skunk as you couldn't hardly see it in the nem, no contrast.
Hard to say for real long term, I've heard others say the same though.
But 2 pairs may be pushing it in a 50.
It's a gamble, but those 2 have the best chance IMO
 
iv seen a pair of tomatos with a pair of false percs in a 180. the tank was divided by a wall of live rock which blocked their veiw of each other. war would erupt when one clown would venture to the oposite side of the tank though.

So it is possible to go ahead with this combination?
I will go ahead and try if fight do occur... I will have sell off either pair...
