mixing breeds of clowns

I've got a 90g tank with several anemones in it - 2 large BTA's, 1large LTA and 1 small (2") LTA.

After talking to my LFS about the different clown species, they suggested I get a skunk clown pair and a false or true perc pair. The suggestion seemed a little strange to me as it was my understanding that mixing breeds of clowns in the tank would be a bad idea due to their aggressive nature.

Anyone think having a pair of skunks and a pair of percs would work in a 90g?
 
I wouldn't do it. Might work short term, but once one of the pairs starts to spawn, I see bad things happening.

I have a pair of pink skunks in my 58, now that they are spawning, they have become more aggressive.
 
The fact that they say True percs should be enough that you don't listen to them. Percs are very aggressive. I wouldn't try it in a 90.. Well actually I did. It didn't work.
