I am looking to upgrade to a 120 in the next month or so probably and was interested in adding a pair of pink skunks to the tank cause the miss really likes them. I have a baby baby pair of true percs in the 75 now that just recently decided which was 'going to wear the pants'. Also I was trying to pick the best anemone for the job or maybe just house them with a toadstool from work.

to diff. species of clowns in the same tank is asking for trouble.

I have an anemone and yet my clowns stick to my toadstool. :D

lol, i figured i would have decent luck with the true percs being so tiny and both species being of the more passive variety.

any clown that gets an anemone turns from cute to bull dog! they will not let other fish by it much less clowns. I think you would end up with dead fish and an upset mrs if shes like mine,lol

I have a 180g, with pair of onyx, pair of b/w, and a tomato. they get along fine. I don't know how yours will do though, you never know what they will do until you put them in.
