compatibility question about clownfish

[darkslayer414]

hey, i have a false orange and white clownfish in my tank now. I want to add a citrinis clown goby. will these two be all right together? I know the citrinis is not an actual clownfish but i want to be sure they won't fight before i buy him/her.

Do you mean a citron clown goby. Yes, they are compatible, both pretty non agressive. I keep 2 gobies with my spawning ocellaris pair, they get along well. What size tank do you have? The goby is a perching fish, not a lot of swimming with these guys.
Your orange/white clown fish is an ocellaris, not a false clown, they are also called a false percula but that can be very confusing so wise to stick w/ocellaris.

Lmecher, you say your maroon is crazy wacko mean. Question is, have you heard of a mating pair of Maroons. Or, can you only have one maroon to a tank.

A LFS around here had a mated pair of gold stripes.

Pairing maroons can be more diffiuclt, they have been known to attack and kill intended mate. If you tank precautions and monitor them I see no reason why you shouldn't try.
