Types of clown living together possible in 1.5feet

[arcanehacker]

Was just thinking. Many have clowns their biting each other. And I know most clowns are quite fierce. So may I know if its possible to get few clowns (preferably different types) living together? If its possible then what species?

[alanseah]

hmm I have encounter before where if you want to place diff group of clowns together, you required to add them all in at the same time.

In that way chances of success will be high..

but bare in mind dont go for those very fierce clown.

avoid putting any anemone so as to reduce any host fighting..

for my tank I have currently got 3 type of clowns in it..

[Terryz_]

Very difficult for different species to be put together... especially maroon and tomato... pink or orange shunk clown should be okaie...

[weileong]

try to get all of them to be the same size and introduce together. Even if the size a little different and most of the time means the slightly bigger one will be the big bully.

[arcanehacker]

So to say, to be safe, I will only be able to add those not so firece clowns. Try to aviod maroon and tomato? ..

My GF's tank has a Black & White Percula Clownfish (i think).. its quite fierce towards a small fire shrimp.. isit possible to add another clown now?

[alanseah]

no I dont think it's possible to add one more clown for your gf tank unless the tank is big like 4 ft.

yup try avoid maroon and tomato..

go for afrian clown or nemo those more gentle one..

1.5 ft tank? Not possible. You also need to consider the bioload.

2 pieces of Ocellaris Clownfish or a pair of True Percula Clownfish

should be enough IMO.

I dun think the bioload is a problem.. I've kept a lion, 3 shrimps (one quite big) in a 1 feet.. no problem there. The problem now is will they fight for territory..

[weileong]

[arcanehacker]

by nemo you mean true perculas?

[AquaRa]

nemo is false clown. true perculas are usually more aggressive. maroon clowns are also very aggressive

Check this out, just took a pic of my 3 different species of clowns hosting at my Purple base magificent anemone. Who say clowns can't be mix?

nemo is true percula clown.. SInce the movie is set in the great barrier reef. Occelaris is found in the indopacific region. Percula is founf in the great barrier reef. so nemo = percula.
