We got a cinn clown and I want to put a tomatoe in there as well? Will they fight and kill each other? I have heard different opinions and I wanted to see what you guys thought since everyone is much more experienced than I am..
Thanks!

I have a cinn and a maroon in a 55. They are together a little over 3 years now. The cinn is the larger and older clown. They don't hang out together but they don't fight either. They pretty much do their own thing.

Yes you can put a black and white and a orange and white ocellaris together. Some call them false percs, but they are ocellaris clowns, just different colors.

If they are the same species and they are not both female then it will work fine.

i know this is a little late but i was looking through for an answer and this looks to be the best place to ask...i have an average ocellaris that is about 1 1/4" and was paired up with one a little smaller..the smaller one pulled a "NEMO" on me and jumped into my wet/dry system on my Biocube and i was looking into pairing him/her up with a black and white ocellaris...my question is will they spawn and if so what size B&W do you think i should get?? im getting into breeding and would like to see the outcome of the two

B&W are Ocellaris so they very well could breed if the environment is good.
The color morph of the Ocellaris has no bearing on what the size of the offspring will be.

I'm new to this fish thing.. but I have a cinn clown and I had a yellow& black clown which was meaner than all get out. I got rid of him today and the cinn clown is happy as could be. I found these 2 great clowns and added them to the tank today. They are black and white. The cinn clown is attacking the larger one...
What do I do??? The cinn clown finally hosted to the one that the yellow& black one had. Since he's gone, he's a sleep at the top and the other 2 aren't near they're host. You think they will be ok together?
HELP!!!
