Clarkii and percula

[shista]

ok so i have a 55 gallon tank and i have one big clarkii clownfish and 3 small perscula clownfish. my clarkii nips at them every hour or so .. at night he doesent bother thema at all.. and they look i great shape(no bit marks or missing fins) to me it looks like they are fine but do you thing anything will get worse??? they were entered at the same time and they have been in my tank for 4 days now

Rule of thumb- you should only have one pair of clowns per tank unless you have a large tank. Some people will tell you they had two pair in their tank and some people will tell you just one pair. Now even if the clarkii gets along with them you will have an issue with 3 percula's. As they mature they are going to pair off(the more dominant one will become the female and one male will pair with her) leaving one male. Eventually the pair will pick on the loner until they kill it or beat it up bad.
This is only my opinion and i'm sure others will give their .02.
Good luck

Now does the pair have to be the same type of clown fish or could it be 2 different types, to make a pair.
