Some clownfish lovn' in the mourning

So I have to leave the hobby soon and planned that I would sell my fish and slowly get rid of my coral. So I have one fish left, a Mai Tai (Ocellaris X Marron).

Told myself no more fish. But every time I go to the LFS and pick up RO/DI(yes, unfortunately I still lug 5 Gallon buckets back and forth from the LFS every other week, I feel stronger though :)) this itch starts to build up.

I resisted for a month ... then finally in 2 moments of insanity I purchased 2 more clowns. Got a semi-picasso percula and then a few days later an ocellaris. It's hard to shake off this addiction.

Had to separate the Mai Tai because he was relentless with his bullying.

Today mourning before the lights came on I was rewarded with some serious clown lovn' that went on for 2 hours, till the lights came on. Hopefully the affection continues, all though feeding time does bring out a little animosity, but then again, who doesn't get grumpy when you take their food.

Had to share with you guys

Ok I believe my greed has led to a creation of this evil love triangle. Just had to purchase this awesome Black Ocellaris. It was the king of the clutch, yet gentle in disposition, it's charges were never overly aggressive, so I let my greed get the better of me and bought the little one. Also I really like how it had a little pale yellow hue come through whilst the others had their black fully set in.

Here is a vid moments after introduction:

And one several hours later, Think the Darwin was trying to end the triangle

I guess it all depends on personality as to whether clowns get along, of course as they age they become more aggressive and once female and top male have been established everybody gets put to the side. Any of you want to chime in with success stories of 3 or more clowns kept over long periods of time? Thanks
