Clowns in 5ft Tank

[freemchr]

Hi Guys

Currently have two tanks 3ft Upstairs and 3ft Downstairs. Planning on getting a 5ft tank in the next few weeks.

Upstairs i have 2 ocellaris clownfish, small blue tang, small yellow tang and a few other small fish..

Downstairs i have 2 black and white ocellaris clowns. I plan to move the clowns from the upstairs tank to the 5ft.. would it also be possible to add the black clowns to the 5ft as well?

The tank volume of the new5ft (585L / 155 Gallons) tank is around 5 times the current 3ft (155L / 40 Gallons)

What do you think?

Thanks in advance

I think you would get more responses if you provide gallons vs liters ... just a thought.

Thanks Kevin. Have updated with Gallons.

clowns really dont like each other unless they become mated. they will likely harass and or kill each other

like steve said, they wont really get along unless they're paired off...and the fact that they're different types/colors doesnt help either. Even if the tank is big, they're still gonna run into one another at least some time.. I would only do one pair of clowns.

The two blacks are paired and the two orange ocellaris are paired too.. i guess that doesnt really work either.. They are both ocellaris.

Ya good point...2 PAIRS makes it worse too lol. Specially if one spawns. And i've got black ocellaris in my 40...they're pretty dang mean..not so much towards other fish, but they go after my hands all the time... After seeing what they can do to me, i'd hate to see what they can do to other fish should they chose to do so.
