Can i add another clownfish pair

[Clown93]

Can I add another pair of clownfish too my 20 gallon tank if not how about a cherub angel what is the minimum tank size for them?

I had 2 clowns in my 125 dt. Added5 more clowns and they all survived a little aggression at first but now it's peaceful.

Well maybe you can elaborate on the relevance of the first part of your statement?

An example of what number I added to prevent war with a pair but not in this size tank. My point was adding a pair is a no go- you need to add more in my case 5. I often get breeding pairs out of clowns. Here is when i started with another tank of 14 and had no issues as larger numbers often result in best success of no fighting

I have a small tank with a pair of clowns and a yellow clown goby. They get on very well. I am thinking of adding something - maybe a firefish, or even nicer IMHO a decora goby

Yeah. My 30g currently only has a pair of clowns and a royal gramma and the RG is a little aggressive. I would love to add a clown goby or Citron or something. I would love a pistol watchmen pair but I have really coarse not fine sand. It's more like crushed lava rock and I'm not sure they would love it. I thought about a 6line wrasse to eat some bristle worms but I really don't want to deal with their attitude in a 30gal.

No :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

I made this rookie error, adding a pair of tomato clowns to my 425xl and my happy percula pair. The perculas are now in their own tank along with a stack of BTA’s, me having converted my quarantine tank into permanent housing for them. The tomato clowns turned immediately feral and were intent on killing the percs. The percs were easy to catch and move whilst the tomato clowns were impossible.

Anyway, won’t make that mistake again ‍

I have a 30, and can’t even do a pair. My tomato clown is a real b.

Did you take it down because of issues with the clowns getting along?

No - a club member saw the tank and gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse as I at the time had 4 tanks
I kept the clowns and still have 8
Others we’re breeding pairs others begged me for
