How Many Clowns?

[aaronlp]

I just moved my 2 Ocellaris Clownfish into my 75. I am wondering if I can add 2 more clowns ( maybe black Ocellaris ) to the tank? Any thought on this would help!

Thanks!

Best to put them in at the same time for success.

no they will fight

How long has the 75 been running?

They'll fight. I would avoid it.

 

[aaronlp]

foa about a month or 2 the parameters are all fine

Yea...what Joe and Jeff said.

 

[aaronlp]

so only two would be good? and just say for future refs say i eventually get a bigger tank can u add 2 clowns one day and the next day add another 2? jus t wondering? thanks!

I have a 210 and would never add multiple pairs i currently have a pair of black and I will tell you they would rip up another pair in about 5 mins they are evil

 

[aaronlp]

alright thanks for the help!!

2......2......2.....2...just 2. I've seen people do more but it results in constant fighting, stressed out fish, and why would you always want to worry about the possibility of a fish dying because you decided to put a couple extra to try things out.

best bet

best bet

a mated pair of ocellaris.

Feed them very well and they will reproduce.

In a 75 , I'd go with one mated pair.
