question about adding a pair of clowns into tank

[al0ha]

so i have a pair of regular false percula around 4-5 years old. female is around 2 inches and oh so fat and the male is about 1.5 inches skinny. Housed in a 34 solana with about 30 lbs of LR and the coral is about 95% euphyllia.

now my question is, if i wanted to add a pair of picassos, would that be a problem? would the original pair show aggression even if both picassos are juvenile? or should i just keep it as a single pair of clowns?

Yes that will become a problem remember your false perculas have been in the 34G longer then the picasso. Put it like this how a friend of mine told me before its like "your eating lunch with your girl friend and another dude walks in and kisses your girl and says to you what your gonna do about and leaves" clown fish are territorial keep that in mind

I would not add another clown to a tank that small with an established pair.

If the female is spawning absolutely not. even if you did add them if the female did start spawning at some point , things would go bad in a hurry.

I know people are gonna chime in with the I have 40 clowns in my nano.. how old are those clowns.. see sig~

arati i am one those guys with 40 clowns in my nano lol but serioulsy aloha if u added the new clown when u did ur upgrade plus had 2 seperate anenome on opposite side of the tank u might of had a chance but i think ur a little two late there is def going to be a war in ur tank

 

[al0ha]

yeah, just wondering if i could. thanks, guess i'll just invest that money into more hammers and frogspawns!

It's how many GROUPS not how many individuals that matter more.

You are adding a new distinct group to an established group and hence not good idea.

When you upgrade and add the two groups to a new tank, they have a much better chance of making out altogether.

aqua that exactly what i meant when i said he should have added them when he upgrade he upgraded like 6 weeks ago i think

 

[al0ha]

yeahhhh......6 weeks ago i was low on funds. now i have some extra from tax returns. wanted to treat myself to something nice! haha. but thats alright, more euphyllia here i come!

 

[dubs]

[al0ha]

i got a good strategic placement for all of them they have plenty of space to grow

I noticed that. I just rephrase it so that the concept can be easier to understand and sound more ORIGINAL from the Pro in Aqua.(J/K) :tongue1:
