Three Ocellaris Clown Fish??

[guntercb]

I have a 120 gallon tank. Can I get three Ocellaris Clownfish or would they fight too much? Would I be better to just get two or is some other number better if I want more than two Ocellaris?

Thanks,
Chris

ifyou want more than two you will need alot to spread aggression out im not sure on the exact number but 15-20 or so

Thanks. I will just go with two.

Maybe my next tank I will do like 20 or more.

Cheers,

I've read, not witnessed, that Ocellaris clowns will tolerate a 3rd partner, if all are introduced at the same time. Basically one will become female, the next dominant one male, and the last fish will simply not sex.

most of the time the third will be killed either when they pair, or start to spawn
