CLownfish

Just introduced 2 clownfish to my 95 gallon. 1 Sabae clown, and a true precula. I would like to add another true precula so that I have a pair. ANy suggestion on when to add the fish and what size. Thank you

It would be cool to have a pair male/female and hose anemones together.

You might want to ask this question in the clownfish forum. Some species of clowns do not get along although in a 95 gallon you should be ok with 2 pair

Maintaining more than one species of clown within a tank is not a good idea ... also .. maintaining more than two clowns of the same species is something that may also create problems. Here's a link that may help.

I have a Maroon and a Perc who share/host a BTA with no problems.

Having two species of clownfish co-habitate within a tank for a short period of time is not uncommon ... but odds are very good that your maroons going to end up killing your perc and that's just mother nature and a matter of time. Having multiple species of clowns within a tank is not a good idea and those individuals who have done so for a prolonged period always have one thing in common ... a very large tank so that the different species can setup their own territory and stay apart.
