size of territories, desire to have different species

[beaniebeagle]

what are the chances of having two pairs of separate species of clownfish in a tank if they establish territory at the ends of an 180 gallon tank??

no, dont have the larger tank yet......

just looking for yes or no's from anyone that actually tried it.

wife is pestering me about trying it, told her that it wouldn't work and it would be wasting money and killing a poor pair of fish

I could build up the live rock in the middle so that they dont see each other if there is a chance of success

I don't have any experience keeping two separate pairs of clownfish, but am currently keeping one Ocellaris Clownfish, and one Pink Skunk Clownfish in a 55g reef. Have had them in there together for 6-7 months now, with no problems whatsoever. I think it all depends on the two species of clownfish you are looking to put in.
