Newbie - new tank clown addition question?

[salth2owannabe]

I'm in the process of setting up a 105 gal tank and would like to have at least one pair of clowns in the tank. In reading the description of many of the clowns and I understand the territoriality issues. I also see a number of folks who have a few clown pairs in a similar size tank as mine. I also read about adding the fish at the same time. Long story shorter- will I be able to have more then one pair of clowns in my tank and if yes could I add two pairs at the same time or would I have water quality issues? One of the pairs I've been looking at is the yellow stripe maroon.
Thanks for all the help,

A pair of maroon will never allow other type of clown in their tank eventhough your is a 105g. They will kill any other clowns, especially their own species that added to the tank. Most newbie love the idea of mixing clowns but they will fight like crazy as they getting more mature. If you have a really big tank like 250g+, you can have a few ocellaris but if you decided to have a pair of maroon, that will be it for you as far clownfish goes. They are very aggressive will not accept any other pair of clowns.

My recommendation is no more than one pair per tank. Really any species have the ability to get aggressive, especially the moody females...

pick your favorite kind of clown and stick with one pair per tank this is the best way to keep clownfish

You could always do what the rest of do.........and set-up multiple tanks and have different pairs of clowns in each. The downside is that you go crazy sometimes keeping up with them all.
