Well, I decided (well actually my girlfriend decided).
She wants two clowns one black and white, and the other orange and white.
The tank is 130ltrs, im just wondering if they will be ok in there?
Not sure if it will help, but my stocking list is:

-Citrinis Clown Goby
-Bicolor Pseudochromis
-Firefish
-Black And White Clown Fish
-Orange And White Clown Fish

Thanks,
YF.
 
So should I get 2 of the same color?
Urggh now im confused.
Oh, If I get them both small, they should be ok?

one black and white on and an orange and white one will be fine, so long as they are a male and female or unsexed juvies. My clowns were a B&W and an O&W one and i never once had problems.
 
They wont cross breed will they?
Thanks for that ben.
Are these easy to sex?
Im hoping I can get them before they mature.

if they did breed then it wouldnt be much of a problem, just some interesting colourings. At the end of the day they will both be occelaris clowns most probably.

Large ones are usually females. If theres a a tank with a group of clown in then the biggest one and only the biggest one is likely to be a female. If theres a large one on its own then this is also likely to be female. The rest of the clowns in the group tank are likely to still be unsexed juvvie ones.
