Ocellaris and Clarkii Clownfish

junxu95 · 04/01/2007, 11:05 PM

I have 2 tank raised Ocellaris clownfish. I am thinking to add another 2 clarkii clownfish to host my BTA anemone. I just wonder if Clarkii will get along with Ocellaris?

Clownfish only get along with their own specific species. Usually the dominant pair beat up/kill the weaker pair. They might be ok while juveniles but once they mature all h*** will break loose. Stick to one pair.
