Would Amphiprion Ocellaris, A Ocellaris Darwin and A Ocellaris Snowflake hang out or would they act like totally separate kinds of fish? Don't want one to not have a friend but like to get individuals.
Thanks

They should be fine. I have a Darwin and regular ocellaris. They were the same size in the beginning and helped me tell them apart. They are bedt of friends. They sleep together and play together. Really even thought they dont look the same are inseparable.

My mocha female killed a standard male. She is fine with a Darwin male.

IME it’s better to mix clowns that look similar as opposed to different breeds. Some (like the black clowns) just tend to be more aggressive than the wild type.

Just to be clear, similar color morphs won't pair off together just because they look the same.

Clownfish all have different personalities--and for some reason ocellaris seem to exhibit this quite a bit. Some are docile, and others are mean. And, the females tend to get moody, especially when the male is doing something they don't like (I'm still talking about clownfish BTW ;)).
