Maroon Clown survivability??
Big female maroon clown with a 4.5 inch O.S.
In a 29 Gallon would you count on it living? would you invest in the risk |

Depending on the mantises personality. From what I've seen they are pretty agressive so I think it would live most of its natural life if the peacock was passive enough.

I would worry about the maroon picking on the mantis, they can be very aggressive. The maroon i have attacks my hand with hard bites that bring blood quit often.

Since Clowns are Damsels in disguise I would say its worth a shot.

I keep two yellow tail damsels with my 6" O.S. for quite a while now, and they live fine together. I think that the damsels are too fast for the mantis to catch so she doesn't even try. I would suspect the same for a clown fish, as long as it's a large enough one.

Maroon clown fish are mean! I was looking for a box that said "the clown will hurt the mantis". I am guessing if it is a large clown, then the mantis will not come out very often. And if its a smaller clown then it might get killed. In my opinion it is going to be very hard to pull off. If you are looking to add a fish or two, I would suggest a damsel. As you might already know they are cheap and fast. worst case scenario with the damsel is it becomes a lunch that cost a few bucks.
