Lighting maroon

Darrell Brady · 09/16/2018, 06:09 PM

I have a pair of lighting maroons wanting to add them in to my 225 tank it already has a pair of black and whites. Is this doable I will be adding them with there Sherman rose which they are hosting.

Its a risk, but you can try putting it in the opposite side. I have a paired mocha, paired percula n a lightning n yellow bar that paired up in my 110g.

You may get lucky if they both have anemones that they stay in. If not I would say no it wont work. I tried two pairs of clowns in a 600 and had to remove one pair due to constant attacking.

If the black and white wander all over the 225 then NO. The opposite is true. It’s risky.

When they grew up a little, the maroon will not tolerate other clowns.
BTW, the LFS in Corpus Christi, Tropical Fish Haven, have the nicest Lightning Maroon clown. I have never seen any as nice short of the original Maroon.
Here is the picture I snapped yesterday. They wanted 140.00 for him. A little short of 2 inches.
BTW, I don't have anything to do with the store. I just think it is a very nice Lightning Maroon.

That’s a great looking Lightning clown. Almost all of the ones I’ve seen have a pinched head and messed up jaw/face.
