Adding 2 Nemo of Different Sizes

[fzakuan]

Hi all,

I’m new here. Hope the OGs can help out

I just added an orange storm clown to my tank (size around 2-2.5 inches), while I already had another black ice clown (i think) which is relatively smaller around 1 inch, added about 2 weeks ago. Currently there are only these 2 clowns and 4 green chromis. Is it ok to let them be or I should put the bigger clown in a holding box first?

After few minutes putting the big clown in the tank, I can see that the smaller clown is trying to come close/ cuddle with the bigger clown and the bigger clown seem irritated.

Is there anything I should do or just let them mingle

Don't risk it mate. If the pair of clowns you bought is not already paired, dont take the risk of trying to pair them yourself.

So you had 1 clown, and your adding a second? If that’s the case go for it, but yes I would put in a quarantine cage so all the fish can acclimate to each other.
