So as most of yall know, I have a 29g biocube with a six line wrasse, 1 false percula clown and a mandarin.. Ive decided to trade the mandarin into my LFS and get a few clowns... My idea was to get 3 more clown, 2 other adults and 1 other juv. to make 2 juv. (the one i already have is a juv.) and 2 adults there for the adults have a juv. to mate with, i know when a clown is alone it starts to become a female, but my juv. doesnt even have the main white band around its center body.. so i guess it can still be either sex correct? what do you think about the idea, i really just want a clown tank and the 6 line wrasse is a tag-a-long.. let me know if you think it will work.
thanks
brad

I dont think you can have more then one pair of clowns in a tank that small. Im almost certain.

Ok, I dont really understand your post other than you want to put two adults in with one juvenile to mate with? That doesnt work, a mated pair of adults will probably attack and kill the juv and only the adults will lay eggs.

The six line will eat the babies

I'd just get another juvi and let nature takes it's course. My little ones grew into a pair in a few months in a 58g. they probably won't spawn til 2 yrs old is what I've heard.
and yes the 6-line will mess with everyone from time to time and eat anything he can fit in his little pie hole.
