Clown Question

[wildjosh]

I have a Pair of Osc Clowns and I was wondering if it would be okay to get another clown. Like another type not another osc. Would they not get along? I don't want to start any trouble between any of my tank mates so I figured I would ask first.

Not recommended and will more than likely cause some aggression problems. I don't know the size of your system but some people keep a couple of pairs in larger systems.

I have a 75gal with a 30gal sump.

Don't do it, they don't tolerate other clowns. Add anything else that is compatible, other than a clown. There are a lot of very nice fish you could add that would keep the peace so to speak in your reef tank. You could look at a compatibility chart and find something that will get along, you'd feel aweful if you had losses.

clownfish are mean to one another. If you keep them in a pair of three, one or two of them will kill the other, so that they will remain a pair.

Okay, I was just wondering, I wanted to check first. Thank you all for the insight.
