IMO you should read up more of aggression behavior of clowns beofre buying 2.......... Clowns are very territorial and will not tolerate another clown in the tank, suggest you remove the african and give to someone who can provide for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member hotsoup Posted September 5, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 5, 2003 Alternatively, u can remove yr common clown for a while, rearrange the rock structure to create more hiding places, then introduce the common clown back to the main tank. No gurantee it will work but u can try Quote 2ft cube with 2.5 sump 400w MH with 6 x 24w blue T5 Hydor wavemaker controller Aquatronica controller Daikin compressor with double coil RM CR H&S out sump skimmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuEl Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Place a mirror for your common clown to admire itself...hopefully it forgets about the other clown...just hope it is vain!
