as far as clowns go?

hi i have 2 percula clowns in my 95 g tank now i was wondering if i could get another type of clown in there too. the tank has ALOT of rock work in there and might be adding even more in the future as soon as i get enough money to do what i want. so am i able to add another type of clown with my situation?

I would ward against it in a 90. Likely they will not cohabitate if your Perculas sexually mature. It's hard to say you are on the edge of the size in which it's somewhat safe. You might get away with it for a year, but long term I doubt another pair in that tank would co-exist. I would avoid another clown pair of any species or even a single.

Save yourself some trouble and don't do it.

I think it`s fine. put a tuffer fish in thar. You could rearange the rock as well.

I would not recommend putting different species of clowns in your tank. In addition, I would not recommend putting more than 2 clowns of the same species.

You could post over at the clown and anemone forum (and read the stickies) if you want more information.

Don't do it...
In larger tanks it very hard to get stuff out (Esp fish)

It's just a bad idea...
Yeah I'm sure there's some people who have exceptions in their tanks where this works,
but statistically the odds are not in your favor.
