Gold Stripe Maroon Clown and Tomato Clown in 75?

I have had better luck with ***** fish than online fish stores. About 1 in 10 of my online fish have survived the first 2 days. Two of my current fish are pet co fish and I've had them since I set up my tank and have been through two upgrades. There is no way I'd put a ***** fish in my tank with out quarantining it though. Their staff knows nothing and I'm surprised that any of their fish survive but the ones I've bought do. I did finally find a great local fish store (sort of local - 40 miles away).

Long term is the issue. You can keep almost anything together for a week or two until they sell.

There's a big difference between keeping 50 juvenile Ocellaris in a tank vs a mature female Tomato with a mature female Maroon. Sure, it's possible, just not likely.
 
I know what you mean, thank you. One time I went to *****, I saw three hawks clowns about 2 inches in the same tank for $13.95 each, but that is not my local ***** store, I need to travel 5 hous to home, and I decided not a good buy because of long hours, all three of them swim, so active, and so clam, now a day, I still thinking why I am not buying those clowns. Here is question: If those three clowns survive in the 10g with tang, damsel, and flame angels, would those will survive in my 110g tank (let say I don't have any clown in my tank).
 
Well like I said, I have a breeder tank if need be. My buddy at the local club said he would take one of them back if it didn't work. I wouldn't want it to get to the point of one of them dying. This evening it's more of the same. Everything is fine. I know it's not likely to work but I may be the exception to the rule. Keeping my fingers crossed.

In most fish stores there no rock. Just bare bottom. So theres no territory to stake out as their own so there won't be fighting. And, like Jay said, they're not there long enough.

Just a thought.
