Re: Bad Clown

Well, I took the Orange Perc back to the store. I picked up another Black Clown and he is acclimating as we speak. I will let you know how this turns out.

Re: Bad Clown

Good luck. Remember if they start fighting try and move some rocks around to make them think it is'nt their territory anymore.

Re: Bad Clown

Or just remember slapping them on the nose with a newspaper works too..... I read somewhere this guy used a cattle probe every time his clowns fought but that may not be extreme enough for your situation.

Re: Bad Clown

yeah moving the rocks would be a good idea, i just hate moving them around when you already get them situated like you want them

Re: Bad Clown

You also have a much larger tank though... I think in a 55 gallon keeping more than one species of clown will be a challenge no matter what you do.
