Is it possible?.......

[darren24]

I have a 150G 60 x 24 x 25. On one end I have a large toadstool that 2 percs host. I have 2 more percs in another tank that host a RBTA. Can I move the RBTA and clowns in to the 150 at the opposite end? Is there a chance they will not bother each other?

Sure, there's the chance......... But they will probably end up fighting.

It helps if they each already have a host.

I must have gotten clowns from MENSA or something...I can't even catch mine in a 10g, but I have no problem catching a wrasse...

Darren, just go for it.

Also, it'd be cool if you had a pair of orange, and a pair of blacks.

I have pair of B&W hosting a GBTA and a pair of GSM hosting a RBTA in a 6' tank. The black female was first in the tank and was hosting the GBTA. When I introduced the GSM pair, they imediatly try hosting and start fighting. Next day I got the RBTA and moved each nem to oposit side of the tank. The GSM didn't mind hosting the RBTA as it was new to them as much as the other one. But it also took some effort on my part braking the ocasional war.
Threre is still an ocational teas from the maroon female but all in all they keep to their host.
I would say that it is posible just prepare to brake to hostilities...

and thee is the possiblilty that they will fight for a lil then settle into a 4 some

if i have read correctly you will no longer have 2 pairs at that point but the larges will retian the female sex , the other 2 males will sort out pecking order, how ever the othe feamle will not revert back to male.

but then they couls stay on thier own end and leave each other alone -

ive actually grabbed my clown a few times.. hes a big aggressive tomato clown we call "Guido". If I put my hand in there with my fingers touching kinda like an "A OK" sign and make a fist he will swim into the hole for some reason. Then u just hold on to him..

ya

weird.. i know

I would almost place a bet that they will end up fighting. I think you would have better luck if they were a different species. Dawgdude is right though. IME if they start fighting they will be easy to catch. They will be so preoccupied fighting I bet they won't see the net even coming. I have found IME that if you want multiple pairs in a tank that size follow the same rules as tangs. Different colors and shape

I tried to keep a pair of Pink Skunks in a 70G tank with a small established pair of Ocellaris. It did not work. I had to remove the Skunks and give them away. Part of my problem was that the Ocellaris were hosting in the GSP, whick in this tank meant the entire tank! You may have better luck if the clowns are defending a smaller area. I have a pair of Ocellaris and a pair of Tomatoe Clowns in the 210, with minimal fighting going on. These have host anenomes on two side of the tank and the Tomatoe clowns are much smaller (right now).

I kept a pair of ocellaris and a pair of tomato's in a 55 for 8 years together with no anemones.

The only way I ever got to keep a pair of Perculas and Golden Stripe Maroons in the same tank was back in Fla. where I had a tank that had a complete 360 swimming area because I had used it as a room divider where you could see on both sides. They each had their own nem on their own side and never fought.
