Is it ok to mix the two?

Just wondering is it ok to put a black darwin clownfish and a orange ocellaris clownfish in the same tank?

Here is an extract from

http://www.ocellarisclownfish.com/ocellaris-clownfish-care/

which I have pasted below.


The one thing to keep in mind is that clownfish will often not get along with other clownfish in the tank. Ocellaris Clownfish are among the least aggressive, however, multiple clownfish (even other Ocellaris) will often fight. If you want to have multiple clowns, it is best to introduce them at the same time and make sure they have plenty of room. Alternatively, you could introduce a smaller clownfish, which is likely a male or juvenile, to a more established, somewhat larger clownfish. The larger clown will likely be aggressive to the newcomer but as long as they are not both females, the smaller fish will usually submit to the female and become the male. They will often pair up and sometimes even become mates.
Mixing different species of clownfish is not usually recommended except in very large tanks. However, occasionally, even the different species will bond and sometimes even mate.
Overall, clownfish tanks are relatively easy to setup and maintain. Keep your fish fed, keep the water as clean as possible and make sure they are not being harassed by their tank-mates and the Ocellaris Clownfish will become the tank favorite in no time at all.

Thanks for forwarding the info. What would happen if in either of these situations.

What happens if you put an already female larger clown in with small male clown that has not become female yet that's already established.

What happens if you introduce a already female larger clown in with a smaller already established female?

The answer to your questions are within the extract I posted.

1. What happens if you put an already female larger clown in with small male clown that has not become female yet that's already established. You could introduce a smaller clownfish, which is likely a male or juvenile, to a more established, somewhat larger clownfish. The larger clown will likely be aggressive to the newcomer but as long as they are not both females, the smaller fish will usually submit to the female and become the male.
