2 pairs of ocellaris

[Immanuel Tan]

Anyone has successfully keep 2 pairs of ocellaris clown in a tank. Example 1 pair of orange ocellaris and 1 pair or black ocellaris.

if yes. How u do it.

Common orange ocellaris can be keep in school. Black ocellaris will be more aggressive, need more attention when keep in group. Cheers

Can i keep 2 black ocellaris and 2 orange ocellaris together in my tank? will they fight? Cos lfs told me to get bigger orange and smaller black. will this work out?

[CFOh]

No one can guaranty. It also depends your tank size. And Black ocellaris is more aggressive. Unless the 2 pair already trained.If not, you need slowly introduce and monitor them. Cheers

Ok thanks. my tank is onli 2x1x1. How do I introduced them? How to do it?

I second no one can guarantee that..the best bet is to introduce all at the same time & monitor..good luck bro

My black ocellaris is always chasing my maroon clown when ever they meet, in a 4ft tank. I think personally i would not try 2 pairs in a 2 1 1. Unless maybe a vast size difference? as i tried adding in a tiny sabae clown(twice the size smaller) and they all left the sabae alone. Just my 2cents

You can give it a shot although I have no luck. Started with 5 - 6 ocellaris but once 1 pair appeared, they bullied the rest till I have to give the rest up. Now this pair cannot tolerate any clown, even maroon because they are spawning on regular basis. Even the owner's hand is not spared when he cleans the tank every weekend ~~~ irritating...haha

I have added 2 more black ocellaris which is slighty bigger then my 2 orange in my tank, and have been monitoring for 6hrs. So far so good. I don't see and bullied from the black. they are very excited, swimming up and down, left and right of my tank. onli sometimes my 2 orange following behind them. hopefully this kind of relationship will last.

The darker color clownfish in the picture is not Black ocellaris. They are same normal orange ocellaris genus.Normally this type are less aggressive as mention earlier. Cheers

U mean that is also orange? That means I buy wrongly. I thought is black. Cos I read when small they will be dark brown But will turn darker when they grow bigger. I thought they are those with black and white strips but with orange nose.

How much u bought them ? Black usually more expensive
