So you always hear how to have 2 pairs of clowns in a tank you need a larger tank. So this may amaze some people.
The above picture is my pairs of clarkii and true percula clowns in a BIOCUBE 29. these fish have been together for 5 weeks on the day, and actually seem to love it! They are all always together and love to blow bubbles at each other and catch them. The percs host my pagoda coral while the clarkiis host the frogspawn/hammer/torch directly above the pagoda. Please note these pictures were taken right at lights on so the corals are not Yet open. I have a 3 stripe damsel and the clownfish group up to fend him off when he gets pushy. It's quite hilarious IMO.
This may amaze some people or annoy others who knows. It may be just reallllly odd luck but I wanted to share my success with other reefers.
My current stock list includes:
-2x Clarkii Clowns
-2x True Percula clowns
-1x 3 stripe Damselfish
-1x Coral Beauty Angel
-1x Blue Mandarin Dragonette
-1x Rainsfords Goby
-1x Tiger Shrimp Goby
-1x Royal Gramma Basslet
As of today my parameters are as follows
Ammo: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
Salinity: 1.023
Phosphate: 0
Calcium: 450
Magnesium: 1400
Iodide: 0.05
Please give me your honest thoughts WITHOUT BASHING. I've heard the 1 inch per 5 gallons and stuff enough.
For anyone know cares to know I am upgrading to a 220g tank within the next 4-6 months.
Thanks in advance all!
