can a common clown pair thrive in my aquarium

Post by sweetie_22 »

my sig has the stocking list, 100 gallon tank, and a yellow tang.
single maroon clown is about 3-4 inches.
looking at a pair of black common clowns, one's 2 inches, the other's 1.5 inches.
think the maroon can hold its own against them and they'll do the same with the maroon.

Maroon clowns, being from the premnas genus, are notorious for their aggression towards their own kind. Introducing a new maroon to your existing one would likely end in the new one's demise. Similarly, adding a pair of common clowns to the mix would result in them being targeted by the maroon. It's a recipe for disaster, as many have warned you before.
