For those of you that have two pairs of clowns in one tank...

Which types of clowns are they?

Just curious. I'm getting a 125 gallon setup and am going to have two pairs of clowns in that tank. Just trying to figure out which clowns of mine I want to put in there. I have pink skunks, picassos, darwins, and onyx. The skunks and darwins are bigger, the other pairs are still pretty small if that makes a difference.

I have ocellaris and pink skunks that live only inches apart in a 120 where the easily could separate more.

That's kind of what I'm leaning towards doing. The only thing I'm worried about is that the Darwins that I have haven't been together long. Not sure they have paired up. Will they still pair up in the 125, even though there's a pair of pink skunks?

pinks and false here. going on 3 years. a bit of fighting now and then not much

I personally don't like doing that, but anyways...

Now that my pink skunks are spawning, they have become a lot more aggressive, I couldn't imagine them allowing another clown ( or pair ) into the tank.

When I paired up my Potter's angels (( one had been in the tank for a year )) I had more issues with the skunks going after the new guy compared to the existing Potter's.

I have percs (spawning) and pink skunks (still young) in a 4 foot 115g. We'll see what happens when the skunks start spawning...

But currenly they reside on opposite ends of the tank.

Guess I'll try the pink skunks and Darwins together first, then move one pair if necessary. Hopefully, they'll all be fine.
