Mixing Clowns

[OCDP]

I had a pair of True Percs, and lost the male. I went and purchased a tank bred Ocellaris for the female, and had not a single problem. They went through little bits of the female chasing him around, but they settled in and were a pair until I shut the old tank down.


merryj99: I would keep a close eye on the male. So long as there is only male and female (male being noticeably smaller than female) they should sort it out. I am not a clown expert so don't hold me to anything, but I think they should be fine. Sounds like the female is breaking him in, showing him whose boss. Just keep a close eye on them and go from there.

Well they seem to be getting along much better not, not so much chasing and they are seeming to be co-existing. Now I have another question, I am not sure which clown we lost the make or Female as we never did find the body...so does the bigger one just automatically become the female and the new smaller one the male. We had the other pair for about 5 years.

I just posted on a thread for another member [noirsphynx] trying to pair up a Gsm clown, I think my method would work well for any member of the clown family..
