Pink skunks will be here in less than 12 hours - please help!

[AliKat]

Will they be okay in the 55 with my small Rod's onyx, or should I put them by themselves in the 14 g biocube?

They are a mated pair, so I'm hoping they will have some little babies soon! Just have no idea where to put them. Any suggestions? Would be nice to figure it out before they get here.

If you value the onyx, I would QT the skunk pair ... especially if they are WC...

Adult size for a pink skunk is 4 inches. What is the max size for the onyx? Is it a pair of onyx? If not a pair of onyx you may not have issues with adding the pink skunks to the 55 gallon with the onyx. IME pink skunks aren't as teritorial as percs and ocellaris accept when it comes to their anemone. Hmm you could try floating them in the bag they came in. In the 55 tank and see if your onyx shows any interest in the new clowns. If they fight through the bag then don't put them together. I would not put the pink skunks in the 14 gallon.
