Pairing Issues - Onyx and Pink Skunks

[AliKat]

I have two pairs of clowns in my tank - one pair of onyx and one pair of pink skunks. The skunks were ordered as a mated pair, the onyx are starting to pair up.

Here's the situation... The pink skunks have been living in a LTA that I have, with the onyx in my Ritteri. Well, today the female pink skunk decided she liked the Ritteri better and has run the two onyx out. Now her male is down in the LTA, she's in the Ritteri, and the onyx are swimming as close as she'll let them get to the Ritteri.

It's all very cute, but I'm concerned. If she continues to live in the Ritteri, what happens to the pairing situation? Do I need to try and do something?

correct me if im wrong but cant you only have 1 pair of clownfish in the size tank u have?

No, I've kept skunks and percs together before successfully. The skunks are usually very tame, and the onyx are still young so I've never had any problems keeping them.

They haven't even noticed each other in 4 months until today, and they aren't even fighting today. The female skunk is just being protective of the Ritteri, but the onyx aren't fighting back.

And I just looked and she's back down with her mate, so guess everything is fine.

Maybe try getting the anemone on opposite sides. And if its to much of a problem divde the tank . Or just have one pair in a tank if too much aggression occur.
