It's actually not a good idea to have more than 2 clowns from what I hear...

it depends on the size of your tank. If it is large enough that you can keep them at their own corner, then you are fine. If you have a small tank then it won't happen. ( consider this is nano reef section =p)

I'd get another nem just incase cause if any that u have already want it they will fight to the death

It don't matter the tank size a friend had 4 clowns. And two would fight over a carpet nem and one killed the other tank size 180 gal

Hey thanks guys!! I acctually have a anemone already its a bubble but the color its pink!! Pretty big! But none of my clowns havent host yet! Its been in the tank for about a week!! So thats why i wanted to get another anemone with a clown already hosting!

 

[Supa Belle]

Remember the nem will walk all over your tank so u will need to watch the clowns closely

 

[Flaxon-Waxon]

There's no guarantee that it will host a clown... FYI

 

[Jeruvalcaba]

Yeah i kow therea no guarantee but at the store i will purchase it from they already have the anemone hosting the black clown! So i was planning to get both! My only concern if they will kill each other with my other three clowns!

 

[Flaxon-Waxon]

Yes of you have more than 2 clowns there will
most likely be a fight to the death... It would take a VERY large tank to not have this happen. People who have 125 gallon tanks have reported more than 2 clowns killing each other.

 

[Supa Belle]

Less likely if the clown u are buying is smaller than the largest one u have the females are larger. And aggressive

Catch the clowns u have when u introduce the new one and float them in a spaghetti strainer so the new one can check things out first

 

[Jeruvalcaba]

The one im buying is larger than the ones i have right now will this be better?

No, more than 2 clowns as stated is not going to work long. There will be fighting and deaths.

 

[oyf709]

i don't think it is a good idea regardless, you will have issues either way, the new clown fish might try to drive the old clown fish you have away from its territories. The reason why I said bigger tank would be fine is because at least you can have the clown fish that lost the battle somewhere to run to. in a small tank, you kind of put them in a UFC cage.

 

[Supa Belle]

The larger clown will be the female and the females will fight till death or submission FYI

 

[Jeruvalcaba]

Guys thanks for all the info im not gonna buy the other black one! But i will buy another anemone!! I just got my tank raised true percula to host my anemone . Can i have 2 different color BTA together??

 

[Supa Belle]

Of course

 

[Jeruvalcaba]

Of course

So its posibleto have them together right!! ?? They wont sting each other

 

[Supa Belle]

Yea u can have them together they shouldn't being they same fam but u can feed the one you have and do 10% water changes a week and it will split on its own also I water changed my tank 3x last week 25 gal cause my test kit said my nitrates were 80ppm and after all 3 25gal water changes still 80 ppm my lfs thinks I have a bad test kit and my green hairy mushroom is splitting as we speak and I would feed him spirilla brine shrimp 2x a week
