I dont have any experience with mixing to different kinds of clowns but i know there are people on here that do and that can give you more of an explanation. I know of people that have Ocellaris clowns with true percs. and i know of people that have Black and whites with Orange and whites. They are the same speicies though...I know there are more people on here with way more knowledge than I though. Someone else??

I have had a black and white O clown w/an orange and white O clown for over a year. They are both O clowns so that's fine. It's the same thing as mixing two other compatiable fish that are different colors.
But, you cannot mix different types of clowns

Ive seen plenty of idiots with multiple clown species in the same tank. I say idiots because I believe its a horrible idea with dire consequences, especially in small tanks. One person even had ocellaris clowns in with a tomato. *shudders* those tomatos are mean SOB's. granted that was in a 130, but still. I would never do it. I dont care how big my tank is. As far as B&W with reg clowns, thats fine. so long as there of the same species.

Easy on the name calling, you have no right to call someone a idiot because they do something you don't.

I have to agree a month is definitely not a success story yet, but its a start. I would think you would need to keep these together for a year or so to be considered a lucky one! haha. Good luck

Agreed, I think this is stepping a little bit over the line
I don't think that because someone elses tank husbandry does not pair up with yours, that automatically makes them an idiot.

yes you can, if they are introduced at the same time, or acclimated to each other the right way.
i had a true perc and ocell together for over 4 years.
they would bicker here and there, but mostly just swam together.
helps if they each have their own territory. if you introduce them seperatly, make sure you move stuff around to shake up any territory that clown 1 already staked.

hey, wasnt being hostile towards anyone on this site. you have no idea, I deal with it all day long. the people, the idioits. who buy their fish from I dont know, who knowing or unknowingly do the things they do. again, no disrespect and I really wasnt directing it at anyone.
case in point: I have a 55 gallon, and its been up now three weeks, the levels all look good. Id like to add a 3" ocellaris, 5" blonde naso, 6" blue hippo and a 4" yellow tang. right now.
^thats what fuels the fire, and some times I get touchy. my bad.
