you have 3 different types of clowns in your tank???

[Mr Cob]

Nice rock work. Looks nice.

I also love all the sand. What's the plan with the clowns?

[Mr Cob]

Also, what's that metal bar on the bottom right of the tank in the sand? Just curious.

My Clarki takes everything to his anenome...even big chunks of the seaweed I put in there.

I've also got three oscellaris clowns as well that I just added. The Clarki wanted them out so I caught him with their help and planned on rehoming him because I wanted more than one. My husband made me feel bad so the next morning, before the lights were on, I took him out of the fuge and put him back. He swam for the nem and hasn't bothered the other clowns one bit. They stay on the other side of the tank and host in a big leather coral and a big colt coral that I bought from the same person.

How long have they been in your tank? As far as all the posts ive read on reef central, no one has been able to keep multiple species of clowns together like that alive-- maybe when they're very young, but you'd need a very large tank, bigger than a 180 to keep them from killing each other in the long run ....

So cool! Christina it appears your clowns are using the anemone as a tool, the tentacles hold the large piece of food and the clowns rip small pieces off. Very cool! Smart clowns.

Our fish doesn't tear apart the bait...

[seatrueblue]

They don't do that every time, just when I don't feed the blue striped clowns first before I put in the silverside. Do you feed your clarkii first?

[RayAllen]

Very cool tank and fun video.

I have seen more than one species of clown kept in the same tank before successfully. This hobby has changed a lot just in the short time ive been in. Things that were said could not be done are being done and working.

people always tell me that you cant do this you cant do that with fish but i use to always see it as if it wasnt ment to be they will just be part of the food chain....


the only thing i have done different was put my damsels in our bio cube for now

[rz1a]

I don't know how you can change a fish from being the way it is.. i'm sure if people found a way for gorillas to stop eating poisonous plants in the wild it would be done, but we can't just go out and train them not to or change their DNA to stop it. Anyways, good luck.

[seatrueblue]

What works for you, may not work for others. If they are still getting along in a couple of years..that is great. I tried mixing clowns once and ended up seperating them. Did you add these clowns all at once?

[Gseclipse02]

nope bought the clarki and the nemo one 18 months ago or so and the tomato about 3 months ago
