about maroon clowns

Post by felixon »

I'm sure I've asked this before but I just can't seem to find the link for the answer.

I've got a bit of a mixed bag in my 3 foot 270 litre reef tank - 2 humbugs, a six line wrasse, a jewel algae blenny, a royal gamma, a potters angel, a flameback angel and a yellow tang.

Saw a mated pair of maroon clowns and was wondering, would they be a good fit for my tank? Any advice would be really appreciated.

You'll likely be alright adding the maroon clowns last, as they can be a bit feisty, but many of your current fish have similar reputations, so it should balance out. However, they will take you up to your stocking limit, especially since they can get quite large.

Be warned, once they settle in, you might get nipped at - the females can give a particularly good bite. Regular weekly water changes will be essential with a tank this stocked.
