Hey guys,
So years into reefing and I always thought you could only have 1 pair of clowns per tank ever. Recently learned that you can have other pairs of different species. I feel silly. Lol. So can anyone tell me what the different groups are? I have a pair of ocelaris (an orange picasso and a black and white). I just added a pink and orange skunk. What other clowns can I add? (220g reef tank- 3 tangs, emp angel, 2 fire fish, 3 cardinals, lep wrasse,mandarin, flame angel, 3 chromis, +/- a couple I'm probably forgetting). Thanks!

My understanding is clowns will fight if there are two females in a small space. In such a large tank you should be good they might not even know each other exist.

You should not (cannot) have more than 1 pair. Two females will really need huge spaces. I have a 320 with a numbers of natural host anemone and cannot keep 2 pairs. I can keep several sub males in with a pair. They got abuse but survive. Not another female however, even if different species.

You can have more than 1 pair of different species. I just was trying to find out common names of the different species. I'll try to find out elsewhere.
