No expert but in my experience clowns especially maroons of any type seem to be the meanest. That being said, you could introduce one in a floating breeder box so they can see eachother but no contact for a week or so and then watch them when you introduce them. It will also help if they are completely different sizes

How big is the tank?

 

[nereefpat]

Probably no is right. You can't mix maroons with others. Occ and perc is possible.

You could give it a shot depending on fish and tank size. Just be ready to keep one in a breeder box if/ when they fight.

Eh, I think Ill just keep my one clownfish and be happy. No use in rocking the boat.

I'm not saying that you will be successful but that is a hybrid that is available to purchase so it can be done.

if clown is smaller the the one in the tank you have a chance

It’s possible to mix but you just need enough space for them. I have 3 black snowflakes and 2 lightning maroon in a 90 gallon tank. They tend to stay in their own area except when it’s feeding time.

Funny you mention that as i also have a blood orange clown hybrid, the larger female one died when i had velvet in my tank, im still debating if i should get another one since i really wanted to get a black storm.

It’s possible. I had a maroon with a clarkii once and they actually liked each other. I currently have an ocellaris with a percula and they’re fine too. That’s an easier matchup though.

Here’s a picture of the snowflake and maroon lightning living in the same tank...don’t mind the messy tank...haha

I have a 90g with a large black midnight and slightly smaller Maroon lightning, Gold nugget maroon, and Chocolate Saddleback.
Lightning was the last to be added and the others harassed it to a corner but didn't physically harm it. Ended up puttinghit in a breeder box in that side of tank for a week and the others cooled down. Its been 3 weeks later and they continue two get more relaxed with each other.
I specifically wanted an assortment along with assorted color anemones and expected "challenges".

A clarkii died but the oscelaris and one clarki kick it together all the time now lol

I have clarkiis and oscellaris that host the same nem.....

I was planning to do the same in about a week actually. Wanted to check in to see if it worked out long term!

The Clarki that died, was it due to illness or being attacked by the others ?
