    Default Clowns in a 75

    I am about to move over all my livestock from my 38 to a 75 I just picked up. Only fish in the 38 was a pair of black clowns, I also have a pair of ocellaris in my Hex I may tear down and consoladate into the 75 gallon. If I do make the move all the fish will be added at once and it will be new territory for all parties.

    So, will 4 clowns be able to co-exist in a 75 gallon system?

    My experience. I have not been able to keep more than 2 of the same species in the same tank. Different species, not sure.

    Yep, long term you are probably asking for trouble. the only cases where multiple clowns work are where adults have babies and they all grow up together..Good case in point.. Aces tank... but it also is very large... bottom line...I wouldn't do it

    BSJF (Lorraine) has the situation with parents in with offspring and the parents are aggressive to the children. Agree probably not a good idea.
