Can i Pair My Clown With...

[Moneymaks24]

I have a Misbar Ocellaris Clown Fish for about 2 years (about 2").

I want to pair him with another clown but something different like Platinum or Onyx or Picasso or Snowflake.

Can this be done? Or do I have to get the a similar Misbar Ocellaris if I want to pair them?

Yes, It Can Be Done. Might Be Difficult But You Will Have To Get A Way Smaller Clownfish To Even Have A Slim Chance.

U mean the new clown has to be smaller than my existing one?

Also from the "exotic" clowns out there, which would be the best (if any) fit to pair with a Misbar ocelarris?

The issue is one of him or her...

If he is bigger than your other current clown then he is a she.

She clown fish stay a she.

If he's the smaller of two then he could become a she if paired up with a larger he or she

If you introduce a smaller clown then the the larger becomes the she and the smaller one stays a he...

Make sense?

So I can pick any type of clown I want as long as it's smaller?

Yup. There is no guarantees with pairing any clowns even of the same kind but good chance. You almost always wan't to introduce the second as smaller. I have a black ice paired with a grade A picasso.

Thanx what's a good place to get exotic clowns? I think I want a black Ice clown.

I got my pair from David at Regal Aquarium. I think Pop Coral can order you whatever you want too. Last night I was just checking out Alpha Aquaculture online some really nice wysiwyg clowns but a bit pricey and not sure on shipping. Most come from Sustainable Aquatics or ORA I believe.
