Pink Skunk and Ocellaris Compatible

[mchiareli]

Hi guys,

I have in my 400 liters tank, 2 ocellaris and 2 black ocellaris, and two BTA, the fishes do not interact with them. They really do not look to anemones. LOL

I was thinking to put a couple of Pink Skunk, do you think I'll have trouble with the clowns? And has chance to skunk enter on bta?

Thanks.

So that is about 100 gallons -- give or take. Adding a 3rd pair to that tank will mostly end very poorly. In fact I suspect that you are going to have issues soon enough with having 2 pairs in there.

Pink Skunks have a reputation for being docile, which in my experience isn't true. They start off that way, but once they start spawning they get just as mean as any other clown.

I agree with Todd skunks start out mellow but tend to ramp up the aggression once they get comfortable. I once had a pair of skunks (female was around 2.5 inches) that inhabited a ritteri anemone on one side of my 110 travel to the other side where I had a pair of GSMs that were at least twice the size of the skunks and already established in the tank. Within the next week the skunks had torn up almost every fin the maroons had even to the point I had to put the maroons in their own special hospital tank.

Actually the pair i'm talking about is pictured in my avatar.

Mine will travel across my 58 (( their anemone is on the far right side )) to the right side just to chase my dwarf angel.

Have had more issues from them compared to the other dwarf angel in my tank when adding another dwarf.

oh... =(

I'll give up the idea.

But I really want to my clowns to enter in my btas.

They are almost babies, has chance to they do, when they get old?
