can two species of clowns co exist in one tank?

[mpkev31b]

say can maroon clowns live in the same tank as perc's?
just wondering.

depends on tank size and anemone situation. No anemone small tank = death. I've seen a 55 gallon tank with multiple anemones with 2 percs, 2 maroons, and 2 skunks

Yes, but usually you will need an anemone, so that the weaker link can have a hiding place.

Are you asking if you want to try a 'mixed pair?' A female maroon with a male percula, or a pair of maroons, with a pair of perculas?
If the first, your shot is as good as adding other clown of the same species. Get the smallest one you can find (to a point, don't get one under 1/2") and add it in with the established clown. If you're looking to have 2 different pairs, I would advise against it, even in a 200gal+ system.

I've seen it work with an 8 foot tank. I would not recommend it though.

That's because they are the same species - A. Ocellaris.
