Pair of Clowns

[bg3489]

I was thinking of getting a pair of either maroon clowns or a pair of clarki's (sebae) clownfish. Ideally I'm wondering if it would be possible to keep 4 ( a pair of each) safely in my 120 gallon tank. I have 2 anenomes , one seabe and one bubble tip. I know your not supposed to mix clown pairs but is it impossible? Would another species of clowns go better together? Any input is welcomed. Thanks!

Having more than one pair usually doesn't work out, especially after they mature.
Sometimes this works in a huge tank, but 120 is pushing it.
And both you mentioned are up there on the territorial list.

FWIW Sebae and Clarki clowns are totally different fish. I dont think it would be a good idea mixing the 2. It would be really hard to catch the 2 that were getting beat on if it goes to that. I mean its not impossible but I wouldnt try it myself.

Save it for the kids with 500 gallon tanks.
