Fish Question

[trouble93]

Since I redid my 55gal. tank I took out some fish, black bar damsel, 3 stripe damsel, green chromis... What I have left is a pajama cardinal, blue hippo tang and a cinnamon clown...I was thinking of adding two other clowns, but I need to run it pass you guys first. The two clowns are a Percula & Tomato they are much smaller then my cinnamon and I don't have any anemons. Any feed back is welcome and thank-you.

As a general rule of thumb, you're not supposed to mix species of clowns in tank; or in a smaller one for that matter. Although I have seen some reports of people with larger tanks housing various species.

u r not suppose to mix clown fish species unless u have a large tank i had a 180 and i mixed a percula and a maroone clown and they were fighting all the time.i had a large tank but it didnt work for me and thats that i had a large tank.
i recommend not to mix more than one species of clownfish in ur tank

I ended up with the cinnamon clown and the Percula and I guess they didn't read the book because they are doing well for now but I'm keeping my fingers crossed...Thanks.

I would not mix two let alone three species of clowns in one tank. I had a friend that had three of the same species of clowns in her tank and two of them paired up and picked on the other one.
Also, you may want to think about the blue hippo tang. It is going to end up getting too big to be comfortably housed in a 55. Just my 2 cents.
