    Ocellaris Clownfish question

    I have always heard that having two different clownfish species in the same tank may cause some unwanted aggression. But has anyone had any issues or would it be a bad idea to have a black/white Ocellaris Clownfish and a orange/white Ocellaris Clownfish in the same tank? Thanks
