multiple species mated pairs?

[thunderjohnsonx]

Ok so I have a 29 gall biocube and I'm building a 75 gal saltwater. My main question is is it alright to have mated pairs of multiple species in a new tank. My finish set up would end up being mated mandarin and six line wrasses in the biocube. In the 75 I was hoping to have mated spotted or red mandarins, mated osscilaris clowns ( sorry for thw spelling), mated long nose hawkfish, mated eight line wrasse, and mated flame angles. R these species compatible in mated pairs? Are any in specific in able to live with other species when in a mated pair? I am not ring to breed these fish, even though mYbe one day I might try. I just like the idea of everyone having a friend. Also a little side note, my 75 will have a 39 gal sump/refugium, how many fish total can I keep in there? My list is currently 10. Can I have 12 or 13? All help is appreciated. Thanks guys. Love this site

your question has melted my brain! I forsee many long nights of research in your future. I couldn't even begin to scratch the surface.

I have to agree, while several of those fish will do alright together, there are alot of other things you want to start researching. Before worring about mated pairs, you might want to look into wrasse behavior, Mated behaviors on each of the fish you mentioned, number/size of fish in your size of tank and things like that...

Hope that helps get you pointed in the direction of somethings to start researching.
