Two Anemones Two Clowns One Tank

[dirtyBit]

I bought a tank from CL a few months ago. It's been doing great so I bought a Magnifica (Ritteri) anemone. That's been going good for about 2 months. Turns out the guy I bought the tank from needs to get out of the hobby and wants to find a good home for this BTA and Maroon Clown that have been together for 7+ years.

I'd like to help him out because he's a good guy and lives nearby so he can come and check up on this nem and clown. I just don't know if I have the space in my tank. Both nems are about 10"-12".

My tank is 90 gallons and I do have a few fish in there. I thought I'd run it by you guys so you can inform me on any possible problems. Will the clowns fight? Will I be overstocked? So on and so on. Thanks.

If your tank can house a magifica in that short period of up and running time, you should have no trouble with keeping BTA also.
The question is, your tank is how old and is the magnifica really thriving?

What about the clowns? Will they be ok together since they are hosting their own separate nems? As for my nem, I think it's thriving. It doesn't move, it spreads itself wide everyday and it has grown since I put it in my tank.

 

[Aaarrrggg]

Are the clowns both maroon? If they are and one is significantly bigger than the other then there's a chance they could be ok.

How long have they been separated? If it's been over a month chances are they're both female now and will fight to the death.

Unfortunately Maroons are notoriously hard to pair. Check out this page: http://knol.google.com/k/forming-pair-bonds-in-clownfish#

My clown is a "Nemo" looking one. The other is a maroon. They have never been together. I bought mine when I got the tank. He kept his because they've been together for so long. Will the Nemo and the maroon fight even though they have their own nems? Probably according to the link you've posted.

 

[Aaarrrggg]

Yes I'm afraid they would. The bigger the clown, the bigger the territory... and maroons get pretty big! I guess there's always a chance they could be ok for a bit, but sooner or later I'd say that little Nemo is going to lose. I wouldn't risk it.
