Maroons together?

[le9569]

Hello,
I do have a pair of maroons. Now my wife wants her new maroon (saw from a lfs) to the tank. Is it possible three of them in a 46g tank? I do have one RBTA.

Thanks all.

Yikes!! I could see that causing lots of trouble. When it comes to Clowns, Maroons are the bullies. If you've got an established pair, I could see the addition of a 3rd causing lots of havoc. Although, I'm definately not the expert on this. I'd wait to see what Elmo has to say about this. He's the Clown Guru.

Havoc would be putting in mildly! The mated pair would kill the third outright.

Wow, interesting info. Thanks all.

That's what I figured. Maroons don't play well with others...lol.
