Adding new Clownfish question ...

[Straight.Reefin]

I currently have a 210 with a HUGE healthy Ritteri anemone in it.....I currently have 3 ocelaris clowns..one is a female and 2 males

I was curious if I could add 3 other ocellaris from my other tank into the tank with the 3 others and ritteri?? Or will it just be a disaster? Thanks in advance!! [emoji1306][emoji1306]

With a 210 you MAY have enough room for 2 groups of clowns - They will need different areas of the tank as their territory though. If it's not enough room for them generally the 2 females will fight until one dies.

Okay gotcha!!!! Thanks for the response!! I didn’t know if they would all go in the ritteri since it’s so big and they would find a new order or dominance or hierarchy

And I don’t think my other clowns are females yet, all 3 are pretty small

How long have you had them? You can give it a go and remove if they are fighting.

The 3 I just bought I’ve had for like 4 days but the other clowns tang live in the ritteri I’ve had over a year

I'd say you have a good shot then.
