Mixing Clownfish

[corey.nolta]

I have a 90 gallon that is about ready for stocking. I currently have my fish in a 55 gallon holding tank. I inherited a pair of oscellaris, but already had a tomato clown (which is in it's own sectioned off space of the 55). How would the three interact in a 90 gallon (4'x2'x18")? I know the tomato is one of the more aggressive of the clowns, but is a 90 big enough for the three?

I do have a fuge set up in my sump that I can definitely put the tomato. Ideally, I'd just prefer to have them all in the display if possible.

Current Fish List:
Oscellaris x2
Tomato x1
Green Chromis x1
Striped Damsel x2
Magnificent Fox Face x 1 (Future Fish)

Thoughts??

In my experience thats a really bad idea. Tomatoe clownfish are very aggressive to other clownfish.

I have seen large females tomato clowns shred males, even in a group of 6 or so. I wouldn't recommend it.

I would attempt to take out the tomato and seperate it from the occ pair for a week after adding the occ. you could either sump him, QT him, or put him in a mesh breeder net.

On a different note, the magnificent fox face will get much too large for your tank
