So I recently added two clowns to my 39 gallon. They are small and not even paired yet, a black ice and snowflake. Anyway, the plan is to add a pair of basslets sometime in the next few weeks and a few people have told me I will have trouble with the clowns being agressive. In my other tank, a 29, I did the same order, clowns, basslet, blenny and had no issues. Will I really have that much of an issue or since they are smaller will it be mostly peaceful? I'm wondering if I should get rid of the clowns and get others later...I secured all the rocks so won't be able to change the aquascape. Also don't have a spare tank.

So, you guys are thinking watch for the others picking on the clowns, right?
