I was thinking about tearing down one of my tanks and I wanted to put a pair of ocellaris clowns with their rbta in to a 180g with a pair of tomato clowns. The tomato clowns are hosting in a bunch of torch coral. I read mixing clowns is not a good idea, but I can't find anything that references a large tank. What do you think? What about putting them in my fowlr tank. I can light the rbra with a par38 bulb. The fowlr has a zebra eel, snowflake eel, niger trigger, red coris wrasse, gold bar wrasse, and a lunare wrasse.

I wouldnt put the clowns together. Especially if one of the pairs is sexually mature.

+1 on it being a bad idea. Tomatoes get big and can be very aggressive.
