Hi i am currently in the forum to rid of 2 new baby clownfish i have because i have a huge female, who has previously in the 2 months, bullied a male clownfish to death.

I am hesitant on introducing the pair to my tank because it would bring a total of 3 clownfish. I have a 425xl Red sea reefer with 8 other ''Peaceful'' fish. I have 4 Anemones that would host so i dont know if it would be a problem. As of right now, they are Free for pickup in Cen California.

Anyone have any experience having more than 2, clownfish in one tank?
 
I have 3 and the 2 were paired up before being added to the other one. It’s a 240 gallon tank with plenty of nems and they always go at it. Nothing to the point of serious damage but always chasing away from territory. The skunk clown owns 90% of the tank the others just stay in one small spot. Personally wouldn’t recommend it
