Pink Skunk Clownfish Thoughts

[nicoleburris]

I have a 55 gallon reef tank, as far as Clown Fish go I currently have two Australians and two Clarkii's, both pairs and bonded and each set get along great with each other even though they were added at two different times. I am thinking about getting two Pink Skunk Clowns but I am not quite sure because I already have four clown fish in my 55 gallon. I was hoping to get thoughts on whether or not you think adding the skunks will cause problems. I have heard that the Pink Skunks are less aggressive than some of the other clown fish.
Thanks!

I wouldn't even recommend having more than a pair of clowns in such small tank. You will have aggression problems. Long story short, i would say no.

sounds like trouble waitign to happen.. clowns are very territorial and another pair may just push the limit if your having success already

I agree, your tank is too small for 3 pairs. I have a 150g and I have 4 different pairs. 2 pairs of blk/white, 1 pair of pink skunk, and 1 pair of true percs. They all made their own homes in different areas of the tank and hosts different things. For example: the pinks hosts a green giant cup mushroom so as one of the blk/white pair. The true percs lives in a GBTA and a giant cup mushroom. As for the other pair of blk/white well, they like to host the Koralia pump:) lol. Now granted all our tanks are different what works for me might not work for others. I would stick with what you have now in your tank so you don't mess up the balance since they all get along unless you upgrade to a bigger tank:) Just my 2 cents Happy New Year;)!
