I'm just curious to hear about others success with mixing clown fish. I currently have a Tomato, a Yellowtail and a True Percula Clownfish in my tank and they all get along.
all depends on tank size and like shane said, if they have their own home they shouldnt bother each other. I had a black pair which hosted a green carpet and a maroon host a RBTA with no problems and that was in my 65 gallon tank. Now i have parted ways with the maroon (given to a friend) because i wanted more room for other fish
Most clowns get pretty territorial/aggro after about a year, maybe even sooner.
If you try to pair any, that pair will be dominant, and probably kill others.
Many times people think they are cool w/ mixing, may be cool for up to a year, and then when they mature, war.
There are rare exceptions to the rule, but pretty rare.
My roommate had a pair of black saddlebacks that didn't have a host anenome, and a large pair of maroons that hosted in a RBTA. Had them for over a year, and never had a problem. Took the saddlebacks out to give a new blue carpet a chance to stabilize before he put them back in. He realized that he didn't really miss them, so they never came back to his tank.
Another friend of mine has a HUGE pair of maroons, a pair of blackfoot clowns, and a pair of true percs all in his 220, with no problems. All have been in there for over two years now.
