Clown fish
I have a mated pair of occelaris clown fish, I want to add two more occelellaris clowns, will that work?
I'm returning my mean royal dottyback pseudochromis if I can catch her, any suggestions in catching her? She hides under rocks everytime we even approach the tank! |

It is not recommended to have two different pairs of clowns in the same tank unless it is a very large aquarium. In both your cases, I would not recommend more than one pair of clowns in each of those. HTH.

One pair of clowns per tank. It would work short term but once one pair starts spawning, the other two will likely be killed by the spawning pair.

+1 on only 1 pair of clowns per tank, unless you have a VERY large aquarium where they could establish themselves on completely different parts of your reef and not have to interact.
