I have really liked some of the tanks that have larger groups of clowns. Has anyone put together a harem tank with different varieties of Ocellaris in the same tank with success? Maybe a few Naked, Midnight, Black and original together? I think that would make an interesting pallet.

thanks,

Bob

If you mean mixing as far as getting a pair that's mixed, that can work. I have a black and white clown and regular orange occellaris pair that have been together around 6-7 years. If mixing multiple clowns then you need them to all be young and get rid of them at a certain age when they start getting too aggressive. Others may know more, but clowns pair- they don't form harems. Any groups you have seen are juvi's. I tried keeping two pairs in an 8 foot tank on opposite sides, didn't work well for one pair.
