Hello all!
So I have had an adult onyx snowflake clown fish for a few weeks in my 75 gallon and decided to get another clown for it to pair up with. I had a small white clown a few weeks ago, but it ended up in my sump and died (we fixed the problem though!) I went to my LFS and they had a sale on these white clownfish . They were so beautiful, so I bought one. I didn't realize how big they were until I got the new guy home. I'd say he's around 2 inches, while my snowflake is around 3. I've had the new one since last Wednesday. Now when I had my last clownfish, he was tiny. Both clowns left each other alone. The snowflake has been chasing the new clownfish a lot, but not attacking it. The white clown hasn't been doing that submissive dance thingy, but has been acting submissive as in, never going near the snowflake. He pretty much stays in one top corner of my tank, while the snowflake swims freely around.
Is this normal? or do I have 2 females on my hands? If they are just sorting out whose the boss, how long does that usually take? I feel kinda bad for the new clownfish. If I have to, I will separate them as I have a 29 gallon biocube up and running too.
