Hello all. I had 2 Juvenile black storms but sadly one of them passed. However I have a large adult Picasso that I have in another tank that I wanted to try to add to my main display with the black storm. Is this possible or will the adult kill the juvenile hats only about a little over an inch long? Thanks in advance for your help

I'm sorry for the loss of the black storm. With clownfish nothing is guaranteed, but I think it is worth the risk to try to put the remaining two in the same tank. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

hopefully your remain black storm is a male. Your large piscasso is a definitely female for sure. If they are different size, should be no problem.

At that small of a size it probably hasn’t changed to female. Plus you are adding the larger one into the smaller ones territory. I think the odds are pretty good. Recommend you stand guard over the tank for a while after you add the larger one so you can yank it out if there’s trouble.
