Mixing different species of the Amphiprion family

I am to do a clown set up - and I mainly want to keep fish of the Amphiprion-family with some anemones in a species only set up.
My question is this:
Introduced at the same time - would it be possible (/wise) to mix different members of the family? I´m thinking like the Ocellaris and the Percula as well as som hybrids such as Snowflake and Picasso...? And perhaps both black and orange Ocellaris?

And another question - anyone out there who has quite a big Amphiprion only set up?
 
in order to mix all of those in one tank, you would need a pretty large tank, probably 200+ gallons, although you may be able to pull it off in a 150.

BTW, snowflake and picasso arnt hybrids, they are just "morphs" of the species, like genetic variations. I believe they are recessive traits for both species.
 
Thanks for responding to me...

I am planning a large setup. But would I need the setup to be larger to mix a few different species of the Amphiprions?
Let´s say I have a system for 10 Amphiprion Ocellaris.
Could I just as well put in 4 orange Ocellaris with 4 black ones and 2 Snowflakes? Or would I need a bigger system for that?
 
you'll need a bigger tank...but i did see somewhere on here where i guy had a tank full of percs...can't remember if they were true or false...but he raised them from eggs that his parent pair spawned...it was a whole school of clowns...so it's been done before...but it is risky...
