help: ocellaris

[AJF]

hey guys..
i have a question about ocellaris, i have a 20 gallon nanoreef, i have 2 ocellaris, i just want to bought a black one and i don't know if i can have like 3, or i have to give one of the orange one...
is it possible to mantain 3 ocellaris or they will fight?
thanks
António

you can have 3 for a short period of time as long as they are all small. Eventually 2 will pair up and chase off the third. There isn't enough room in a 20 for the un-paired fish to hide so it will probably be killed eventually.
