Bad Clown

I think you did...unless you wanted UFC in there

I would do what bobby suggested..... Keep the aggressive one out for a couple days, rearrange your rock and after you put the aggressor back in keep it dark for 3 days(that way if you have any algae it dies). Its better than taking the fish back and getting nothin for him.

BTW I have a coral banded shrimp I'm having the same problem with.... so i bought a really big sally light foot crab to kick his ass. Ill keep everyone posted if that Lil bastard has finally met his match

It's hard to keep more than one species of clown in a tank. They usually end up fighting, so I think you did the right thing by taking one out. If you do get a second clown, make sure that it is either much larger or much smaller than the clown you already have. That will minimize the chance of them fighting (although they still might). People sometimes forget that clowns are a type of damsel and do have aggressive and territorial tendencies.

And Hawks, soon enough your sally lightfoot will be going after your fish. I have two of them, and I think they may have been behind the disappearance of my wrasse, as they've been chasing after fish for a loooooooong time now. In the end, you may find out that your coral banded shrimp wasn't so bad after all, those sally lightfoots are AWFUL .

Biff, why do you always have to rain on my parade?.......lol

I am going to take the Orange perc back to the store tommarow and pic up another black clown. Or instead of the black clown, would it be a bad idea to try and add a no-stripe clown? Wouldn't they ignore each other because one has stripes and the other one doesn't?

All species of clown will be aggressive to each other..... no matter black, orange, striped, no striped, purple or blue. The next best thing you could do is what biff suggested.
