Pairing a Clarkii and ocellaris

[ddunn2466]

Was just wondering if I could pair a Clarkii clown with an ocellaris clown. 75 g tank. Thanks!

The clarkii is about double the size of the ocellaris

Clarki would probably bully it to death

I wouldn't do it...that's asking for trouble.

I have a clarkii n a onyx clown and a snow flake in my 29g cube for about 2.5yrs now.

I count 4 clowns in that tank. How is it that they don't fight? Have they ever fought? When I worked at the local fish store, the owner told us to never mix Clarkis and Ocellaris.

So at one point i had two perculas, onyx, snowflake b clarkii in there. The clarkii leaves them alone, i had two perculas in there n took them out, too much bioload. So the perculas went in my 110g, current is the clarkii , onyx n snowflake n A yellow watchmen goby. The clarkii is actually pretty big now, maybe 3inches. The onyx n snowflake paired up n im hoping they will be a breeding pair.

In my 110g i have a paired mocha clowns, regular maroon, goldbar clown,

Before I knew better (before we even had a sump), I put 6 black/white percs in w 2 percs. OC there was a war, I ended up w 5b/w, 1reg. They settled fine there, but then reg + b/w mated. Between industrious b/w male & Diamond W Goby, a whole corner of tank became bare. Those clowns laid eggs *so* many times! But the OG fish: 2 tangs, 1 foxface destroyed them all.

So I gave all the clowns 2 friend w breeding tank 4 pair, other tank 4 the other b/w. Plus no anemone survived, pretty sure due to lack of sump.

Then abt 3 yrs ago, I got 2 juvi maroon/gold bars. Now I just have The Murderer, sump etc., and rbta that will prob overrun my entire tank. No more clowns 4 me - I'm sticking w mgb & her rbta.
