I have all of them but in a 40 gal that may be too many. That would give you 6 fish in a 40 even though your choices don't get really big. sixlines like to pick at the pods on the rocks. I don't know how old your tank is. They like nori too, at least mine does. Don't get the percs, your tank is too small and the tomato will attack them. Your list looks good other than the percs. JMO

when igot got my two percs they were about inch long. one died a year later with ich and i bout another one about a inch long. now the biggest is about 2 inch and the other one is about 1 3/4 inch long but my tomoat is about 1 1/2 inch long but never attacks the percs or anything, he just sits in is bta and brushes sand around even when the percs swim by. maybe it depneds on what you had first or not, do you have any anemonis? maybe a bigger perc might be again but they dont have anybrains so i my not sure. i would do some research.

The clue here is he had the percs first. Tomatos are very territorial and you already have it. Also you tank is only a 40. My tomato died and now I have two perc. Once the 135 is set up, I'm going to try another tomato with them, but they will already be there and I'm hoping it won't be an issue.

I haven't done that with clowns but when I bought a coral beauty my yellow tang harrassed it so bad I had to put the tang in the 20 gal for 5 days, move the lr around a little and then put the tang back in. It worked they get along now but I still think your tank is too small

I have 2 tomato clowns in my tank that get along fine. I added a third and after a couple of hours I had to take it out cause the initial pair teamed up on it and just about killed it. The pair is now back to normal.

I really like clownfish and decided to startup my old 120gal tank and put new fish in it. I knew from past experiences with my six oscellaris that they would all kill eachother unless they were seperated into twos (which would sooner or later all become pairs), but my one tomato clown looked very lonely in the tank so I proceeded to buy two more, smaller tomato clowns which have gotten togather fine since maybe april. Oddly enough, the two largest and most aggresive have seemingly paired off, but the third little one seems to follow them everywhere and the pair don't seem to mind at all.

How big is ur display tank?
Okay, to put it simply, yes you can get another tomato but don't get one too much bigger. You want them both to get used to eachother as juvi's. They are perfect angels than, but once they mature is when they become devils.
But to progress further, how big is this tank?
