THANKS!!! (Compliments are never off topic!)

About the mixing of clowns, that is the rule of thumb that you should not put different kinds together, but I can tell you that we naively put a white stripe maroon with a gold stripe maroon in our tank about 8 months ago (thinking well, they're both maroons so we're good) and they immediately attacked each other in a biting death grip, but the next morning they emerged from the cave as good friends. So, after asking around about that, I have been told that most rules can be broken if you are careful of how you introduce them such as adding them to the tank at the same time and at lights out. So like most things it CAN be done, just with more risk than same species clowns.

Also, yes, the maroons get bigger. Not unusual to see a female at 4" - 5".
