2 pair of clownfish in the same tank????

[sjk2840]

Hi All, I have 2 pairs of clownfish, one set is orange and white false perc. and the other pair are the black and white. Both sets are paired up.Right now they are in separate tanks. I am planning on settiing up a 55 gallon tank within the next few weeks, are both pairs going to survive together in that tank, or will they kill each other? I've heard yes and no on putting them all togeher in one tank. All of the fish are differant sizes, the black pair are the smaller fish, the orange pair has been together for about 3 years and the female is quite large.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I would not put them together....especially in a 55g.....IMO they will fight for territory

Hey, Thanks for your replies. I figured that I couldnt put them all into one tank, I just needed to get some one elses opinion. Looks like I'll be trading the orange pair. I had a hard time finding the black/white pair, so I will definitely hang onto them.
Thanks
