Ocellaris Compatibility?

[Gwynhidwy]

I'm thinking about adding a pair of ocellaris clowns to a 75G tank that I am setting up. My question is, which fish will a pair of these guys NOT be compatible with? Obviously anything that will out and out eat them, like groupers and lionfish, but I'm more looking for fish that would harass them too much, or vice versa. For instance, would a Centropyge angel pester them too much? I guess I'm just trying to get a feel for how well these guys can hold their own. My only clown experience is with maroons, and well, they don't have any trouble holding their own.

We have ours with a pseudo chromis (i think it is the strawberry) and a blenny

Other than the obvious as you noted, I'm not sure that there's much that would be bothered by Ocellaris clowns. I had a pair of them originally with a Flame Angel, and they never gave one another a second glance.

It pays to surf before posting a new thread again!:lol:

I am thinking of doing the same thing, and am afraid that my Centropyge angel will bother the Ocellaris if I add them. Have you bought any clowns yet? I'm curious to find out how they do. I have a Cherub angel.

Thanks very much for the replies!

2fishy, I have bought a pair of black and white A. ocellaris. They are currently in quarantine. All of my research seems to indicate that there shouldn't be any real problems as long as nothing in the tank can swallow or outright chomp them in half. I haven't been able to find much that talks about clowns being bothered much except by other clowns and very aggressive fish.

Thanks Gwynhidwy,

Let me know if you see any difference when you add the clowns to your tank. I'll keep checking back!
