Keeping 3 clowns

FishFatty · 12/30/2006, 06:44 PM

I know this is normally not allowed, but I currently (as of today) have 3 clownfish in my tank. 2 are a mated pair of false perculas, and the other is a true percula. The false perculas host in a rose bubble tip anemone. My question is, how long will this last, and is it possible to keep all 3? They seem to get along great. My tank is a 75 gal. reef. Thanks!

Yeah Ive been seeing more and more of 3 clown systems. If they dont mind each other you should be fine.

they will last until they fight and if there is enough rockwork they may never fight but when that pair starts to think about spawning they will also start to defend their territory thats when the aggression will start
