Mixing Clowns in a 90

[Koddie Doo]

how would you feel about adding 2 tomato clowns to a 90 that already has:

Captive-Bred Ocellaris Clownfish
Midas Blenny

Plenty of room to hide and 5 nems to choose from if the new one's host.

Bio load is good I know, but want them to be peaceful.

I wouldn’t do it. Mixing Clowns may not succeed even in much larger tanks.

Plus, tomatoes are one of the most aggressive clownfish out there. Don't do it.

 

[Sugar Magnolia]

Yep, not a good idea at all.

If your ocellaris are large, they might do in the tomatoes early on; otherwise the tomatoes will grow larger and take out the ocellaris. Tomatoes are just mean.

Mixing Clowns

generally speaking, this is a bad idea. It rarely works as they mature.

Tomato clowns make the idea even worse. They're very territorial...more so than most clowns. I think the only species that would be worse would be GSMs.

A lot of people struggle keeping more than two of the same type, long term. It's fine when they're juveniles, but not so when they reach adulthood. The tanks that are able to do it are long and allow visual separation.
