mixing clown fish

[reefNetWork]

would adding a pair of black and white clown fish be okay in an 80 gallon tank if i already have a pair of ocellaris clown fish?

Likly won't be enough room..If this was a 180 tank, then adding two pair of ocellaris clown species could work..

i dont mean to hijack your thread reef but would it be alright to add a black and white perc and a regular occellaris together anyone?

As far s your current question i would not recommend doing it.

I have a Reg Percula and 2 Black and White Occs in my 55g. I wouldnt add a different pair because the 2 females will end up killing each other. Emerald there shouldnt be problem with adding a Black and White with your Occs. They look the same and have the same body type so they shouldnt fight. Clowns only tend to fight other types of clowns and female-vs- female.

so could i add one black and white clown and be fine? how would i know if it was male or female? my clowns are still pretty small and the black and whites at the LFS are about the same size.
