Pairing Clownfish

Andrewh1474 · 10/21/2018, 08:16 PM

Hello ladies and gents I have a couple of questions regarding pairing.
Will the fish become much more aggressive after pairing ?
After they spawn all they kill other tank mates to defend?
Is a 45 gallon big enough for 2 lightning maroons and 2 other fish?
Should I Keep it just the clowns and one other fish (3) or is 4 fish okay?
Also any tips will help!
Sorry for all the questions !

They should be fine after pairing, after they pair they seem to stick to themselves. But be careful with maroons, they get big and are very agressive, the pairing wont cause problems but the clowns themselves will

So you think a pair of clowns and 2 other fish will be too much for a 45?

Depends on what the other 2 fish are but I wouldn't do it. As someone else already mentioned, Maroons are super aggressive and it probably gets worse when they are breeding.
