mixing clowns

[nick063]

Has anyone had any success mixing clowfish species? i currently have 2 black n white false percula clowns, but i have a friend trying to get rid of a regular false percula clown, would these get along or no, i have in my tank ( 100 gall) the 2 b/w clowns and 4 reef chromis, thanks!!!

If they stay away from each other its possible. If they were to make homes on opposite ends of the aquarium they may be fine. I have seen different species in larger tanks before. However you do run the risk they will fight and possible kill one another.

i have 2 sets of clowns (false pecula and skunk clowns). For the most part, they get along but the false pecs to do after the skunks from time to time. I think it's b/c they were there first.

Typically, mixing different species of Clownfish is a recipe for disaster...however, I have seen it done a few times.
