hi, need some advise.

Just bought a pair of black clown, take five hours to climatise them, then release them into the tank ...

oh no ....they start to fight ....almosy 2 hour liao... is this normal? is it because of new environment or because of the short separation? will they pair back again?

Regards,

CL

you got from CF? When in a group, you got to observe quite to confirm which are the aggressive vs gentle one....but no guarantee....maybe you got 2 of the same sex....as long as the weaker one can pull through the whack....they will stay together.....all the best bro.

i believe they wanna restablish their status to choose who is the more dominant one in their new environment.

it should subside in a while, however it will be good to closely monr them till the establishment is done =)

I got a pair of blackie.. Wen small they can swim together without any fight..but beware wen they grow older..They will tend to get into a fight..Dis is common..as 1 of them will turn to female..Its best to get atleast 5 blackie or false percula or skunk clown..but other species of clown 2 is enuff..True perc (maroon clown) is hard to buy more than 1..cos they are really highly territorial..If u must buy..pls buy only one..n make sure yur tank min 70gal..Or else otha fish will get stress.. Just my 1cent.. :angel:

Sori if you think i am boring but i think it is you who is lame.
