So I have a 220g tank and a 15g tank with 2 different pairs of clowns. A traditional orange pair in the 220g and a pair of black and white in the 15g. The 15g started leaking and I moved the black and white pair to my 10g hospital tank for now but was wondering if I could put them in the 220g with the other pair? Both sets of clowns have been paired for over a year.
If I attempt it do you have any suggestions on how to do it.

a 220 should be perfectly fine for two clown pairs. If possible, try to put each pair's host nem, coral, rock or whatever it is that they currently like to hang out by on opposite sides of the tank so they don't have reason or opportunity to cross paths, and you should be golden. Share some pics too!

BTW I see your location is Penn Yan, that is one of my absolutely favorite vacation spots, Keuka Lake is gorgeous.

Thanks for getting back to me. The cycle gods took it outta my hands and the 10g I had put them in decided to spike ammonia pretty hard so I transferred them to the 220g already. The female black clown immediately bee lined it to the powerhead the orange clowns like to host and started just swimming with them. The male black and white immediately hid in the rockwork with my coral beauty
