I already have 1 pair of occelaris in my 75, and they are thriving a lot. If I get another pair of occelaris and have them pair up in quarantine, will I have issues with both pairs fighting in the display tank?

Always a chance I suppose. I have 5 in my 90 but they were all introduce at the same time.

Probably... Pairs can be very territorial. I'd probably pull them out and put all 4 in QT together to see how they do then if all goes well, reintroduce all at once in DT.

It usually doesnt work after they all mature and get more territorial.

I think you'll likely end up with 3 live clowns. Sorry.
