Clown Question

[mvofficer1]

Can anyone give me some advice. Right now I have a 40 gallon with a few different community fish. 2 of them are clowns. 1 picasso, and 1 ocellaris....My problem is my daughter has a small nano with 2 black ice that she wants to break down.
What are my chances that if I put the 2 black ice in my tank they will be fine? Thanks in advance.

I don't think it will work out well for you with a 40 gallons tank. If all of your clowns are young and still males, then it could work out if a big one turned into a female and keep everyone else in check. But in your situation, I think you have 2 bonded pairs (male/female) and 2 females will not tolerate each other in such a small tank.

I think you are right about having 2 bonded pairs. I am not going to take a chance. Thanks for the reply.
