4 clowns in a tank

I all rerady have a mated pair of orange Ocellaris clowns (tank raised). I was thinking of adding a pair of black Ocellaris clowns(tank raised). I have a 120 tank. The orange clowns have hosted an open brain coral. Will they all get along?

The clowns should be ok Iv seen 2 sets of clowns in a big tank before. As long as they arent right on top of each other they should be fine but at first you may get some fighting just be prepared to take them out because you might get some realy bad agression with the clowns you already have. hope this helps alittle. Thanks

in my experience the black and whites are much more aggressive. I would advise against messing with pair you already have by adding more clowns. If they are breeding this could cause them to stop.

Thanks John I forgot all about breeding interferences.

I'd also recommend against. I watched a pair of percs chase and eventually kill another pair in a 400 gal tank. Would have thought that was enough room, but I guess not.
