Ocellaris hybrid/color morphs compatibility

[KTP]

I posted this in another thread but thought this might be a more appropriate spot for the question. I have a 34 gal tank with 2 standard ocellaris. Are snowflake ocellaris compatable? Will they pair with standard ocellaris? How about any of the other hybrid/color morphs of ocellaris. Thanks




34 gal red sea max: Fish: 2 ocellaris, 3 red firefish gobies, 1 yellow clown goby, 1 twin spot goby. Coral/inverts: Frogspawn, 3 zoanthid colonies, green mushroom toadstool leather, green hammer, red mushrooms, blue mushrooms, 1 crocea clam, 2 kenya trees, 2 pepperment shrimp, 1 red fire shrimp, 3 sexy shrimp, 2 feather dusters and a sufficient CUC.

I have a standard in with a B&W in my 75G (they've been together for 3 years). They're inseparable and have done the "dance" on a regular basis, although I've never seen any eggs.

I think that adding another clown to your pair in a 34G will LIKELY result in you only having a pair again fairly quickly.

wont they fight?

If you mean add a third clown, don't!

What if I added a pair? I know it is pushing it but is it even possible for that situation to be successfull?

A pair will --- IMO/E --- will still end up the same as just adding one -- just one pair would remain.

They are the same species, still, and capable of pairing with other colors of oscies...if they are not already a mated pair, but, what everyone is trying to tell you here is that the tank is too small to add more clownfish...of any kind without a bloodbath ensuing. Save a fish...don't do it!

KTP-great meeting you today. Two pairs of clownfish in a 34 gallon will end up fighting. I woudnt try it.
