Large tank more than one pair of clowns??

I probably know the answer to this but I will ask it anyway. I have full grown male & female breeding pair (9 years old) false percs that currently host in a large leather coral in my 58G tank. I am getting ready to move everything into my new 140G cube, and it just so happens a buddy of mine is shutting down his tank this week and giving me all his rock & fish. He has a couple of smaller true percs that need a home, would my older percs kill these guys or is my new tank large enough for this to work???

If it were a long tank I might say to give it a try and see how it works out. The fact that it's a cube tank makes less room for the pairs to claim as their own. I would not recommend it in a tank that small.

That's what I kind of figured, they may have to live in 40 gallon sump until I can find them a home...

Skanderson,

Interesting what are the dimensions on your cube. Do you think since the clown are somewhat different they leave each other alone...
