Ok I have a pair of Black saddlebacks (Not mated) in a 40 breeder, the female hosts in my GBTA & also the RBTA, I just purchased another pair of Brown Saddlebacks w/ host sebae anenome....I'm wondering how I can peacefully keep them, dont want to get rid of any of them?!

I was considering taking the old pair out while the new pair is acclimating and add together or do you think since they are of the same genus (different color) that they would be ok. I find of all the clowns I have seen, the saddlebacks seem to be the least aggressive, is this fact or opinion?

I would just leave em if your clown is hosting then she most likely wont go to far from home
Just keep an eye on them like any other aggressive fish

Amphiprion Polymnus are aggressive fish; a 40gal breeder is good for one pair of clownfish not two. If you were to attempt this make sure you have a very large aquarium minimum 180gal. IME
