Does anybody know if a 180 is big enough for 2 clown species? I have 2 small Tomatoes and 1 lage Clarki.

I have a AGA 180 with a pair of black and whites and a single maroon gold stripe clown. I had just a small problem at first but its been 9 months and all three are just as happy as can be.

If you notice problems between them, you may want to consider...
1. Re-arranging some of the LR, to "re-set" territories
2. Turning off the lights for a day or two (depends on what else you are keeping, of course)
3. Placing a mirror in front of the glass so that more territorial specimens are distracted.

What kind of clowns are they? Maroons are known to be the most territorial. Keep us posted!
