Hello,


I am setting up a reef tank but I have a clown in there now, could I add another? without a bunch of stress towards one another? if not what other types of fish could I go with? Gobies? anything like this be okay? thanks...............Shaun

yes, as long as you add them correctly..
clowns will usually tolerate one or two of the same species as long as you dont introduce two females

you can sometimes mix species but this ends up in problems more often than not unless the tank is real big

Hello,


thanks for the answer,I will get another clown soon...........Shaun

Shaun,
I had an occellaris for about 6 months before I found an amazing Gold Striped Maroon that I had to have. I added him and the two seem to do well (against mixed reveiws/advice about doing so) I figured if it didnt work I could take on out. They seem to do well. I will say sometimes the occellaris nips at the other at feeding time. I have to sort of spot feed them seperately. Let us know what you get...with pics too :)

The other option (and probably more favorable and my choice if I were to do it all over again) would be to catch the clown you have now and move him to another tank or trade him in. Then get a matched pair or variety that you want and add them all together.

Rob...what do you mean by add them 'correctly'?

just meaning that you don't add two females, or that you dont add mixed species that may not get along
