3 Ocellaris ok?

I've got 3 juvenile Ocellaris right now. They all 3 enjoy being around each other. Is this ever going to be a problem? Will eventually 2 pair off and leave the other one? or event get territorial on him?

Should be no problem at all in a large tank. If tank bred, there are some reports you'd be OK also, but I'm skeptical. In a small tank, live caught, you'll probably end up with 2 maybe just 1.

there are always exceptions though.

Like stated above if the aquarium is large enough it shouldnt be a problem. If the aquarium is smaller it could be a problem with two pairing off while the other gets picked on.

thanks for the tips. I've got enough room for 1 more -- do you think I can do that so there can be 2 pairs or just see what happens with the 3?

The biggest has the lest compelling colors, so I want to make sure both the other 2 have a chance.
