Combining tanks

[Fishfishfishfish]

I have had a 134 gallon reef set up for 2 years with plenty of rocks and caves. Community tank, 2 percula clowns, royal gramma, bangaii cardinal, several wrasses, green mandarin, midas goby, fox face, coral banded shrimp, fire shrimp, pistol shrimp, and an assorted clean up crew.

I also have a 13 gallon nano with a black percula, yellow tailed blue damsel, and a starry eyed blenny.

All fish are the same size, no fighting in either of the tanks. Since the 134 is well established, and territories are presumably well drawn out, would I be able to add the fish from my 13 gallon to the 134? I am particularly worried about the damsel causing problems, and the 3rd clown maybe fighting with my 2 orange clowns.

You are correct to be concerned of just those issues. Is your midas goby a midas blenny, if so he and the starry may have issue as well. It's a good enough sized tank things may work out, but the devil fish(damsel) may not be a pleasant issue to deal with.

That tank might be big enough for 3 clowns.

However, I would not want to chase down a damsel in a tank that big when it starts causing issues.

Fair enough, I will avoid combining then. Thanks!

Seems like the damsel is a problem no matter what. Maybe I move the clown and leave the starry eyed and damsel in the smaller tank. The issue is the 3 fish are I think outgrowing the 13 gallon. Thanks for the info!
