Want a Black Clown,but??

[MIIKE]

Hi all I have a situation here and need a little advice. I would like to put a Black Clown (Ocellaris or Percula) in my tank, which ever is best for my situation. I already have a Orange Ocellaris clown that has been in my tank for about 10 months now. My question is could I put the Black Clown in the tank with the other clown that has been there for awhile? Would they get along or fight until one is killed? I have asked a few of my LFS and I have gotten a mixed bag of answers.

My tank is a 90 and houses the following:

1- Ocellaris clown (1.75" long)
1- Yellow Tang
1-Hippo Tang
1-Chalk Bass
5- Green Chromis Damsels

Numerous polyps, mushrooms, and a few soft corals


Thanks, Mike

I'd say...know that there is a risk, and if you still want to do it see what happens. Probably not a good idea though. But people break rules all the time and get away with it

As long as you only have one, you should be fine. You would need to go with a black ocellaris ideally.

Yes you should be fine adding a smaller black ocellaris to your existing orange one.
