can i have 2 oscellaris and 1 maroon?

[danrw84]

what do you guys think of me adding 2 small tank raised Ocellaris Clownfish and one tank raised maroon clown to my 29 gal reef?
Im pretty much just begining. Cycling is done, damsels are out, (THANK GOD!) ..levels are down, a few mushrooms and polyps are in.
I like both of these fish, can i have all 3? Or 1 of each? Or is that not good? is it better to have 2 ocellaris clowns?
i also want to add later on down the line, a goby of some sort, maybe a royal gramma, a fire fish, or something else that is small.
thanks!

Only one type of clown, they will fight if you mix them, especially if you mix with a maroon clown, they get quite big and very territorial and in a 29 gal you can't have all three clowns. You can have either the two ocellaris or the maroon but not all three.

I agree. Maroons are known to be the most aggressive of all clowns and oscellaris are prone to being picked on. Even though its hard, I think youre gonna have to choose your favorite and only get one species.

only do maroons if you plan on having other fish that are semi-agressivr to agressive
