Adding a second pair of clowns

[thm1121]

We just established a tank and added a pair of mocha clowns but would like to add a pair of frostbite clowns soon. We have a 32.5 gal fluval flex would this be a problem??

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

I would say that tank is not big enough to have 2 sets of clowns. 1 set will kill the other. You'd really need like a 6ft tank to hold multiple sets of clowns.

Thank you that’s kind of what I thought but I found a pair of frostbite clowns that I would like to have but I will be happy with my mochas

I would say the tanks not big enough as already said, but it does always depend on the individual fish. You could buy a bigger tank though!

And welcome as well!

I tried a third clown in my 90 and it didn't make it 5 minutes before I removed it.

Welcome!! Maybe try a couple different fish to give the tank some diversity. There are some cool nano fish out there that would compliment your clown fish.

Welcome! As stated the clowns would probably not get along.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!! I also wouldn’t recommend more than 2 clowns in a 32g tank.

Clowns can be very territorial!

Or.... Tank #2.

Yes, likely a problem. Clowns can get very territorial. It probably won't end well for some of them.

Thanks for the welcome! That’s definitely a thought!

Have you had any experience with more than one clown pairs?
