Two clown pairs in a 180, working so far

[125mph]

I’ve had premium perculas for about 10 years and saw a pair of nice saddlebacks. Went through the QT and introduced them into the tank two months ago.

The original perculas always hang around the right corner of the tank and interesting, the saddles choose the left corner.

No nems in tank.

No fighting and no chasing. Maybe a bit lucky.

I know this is a topic before so might help someone else thinking of the same.

Saddle Backs are the BEST! I LOVE their unique swim pattern.

(Where did you buy them? Did you QT them?)

Any chance of seeing a video?

I tried this several years ago with an established pair of mochas by adding a smaller plain ocellaris. Plenty of space and nems, with the mochas hanging out in a giant mag. for a several months (maybe even a year) things were great but one day it was like a switch went off and they killed the new one…go figure.

Those are beautiful fish and really nice tank. Its great everything is going smooth. In my past tanks I'd have some chasing and territorial issues when I had an established anemone hosting my clownfish. Without an anemone I noticed a lot less chasing and fighting. It was pretty interesting to see.

Hoping to try a harem of around 4-5 in my 170 gallon soon. Starting them all off from juveniles for the best chance.
