Adding a clownfish to a tank with a clownfish.

[gar732]

I have had an ocellaris clown in my tank for about 8 yrs now and I would like to add a snowflake clown but not sure if the ocellaris will welcome the new addition any thoughs. The tank is a 75gal, thanks.

It should be fine as long as you dont dump the clownfish right in.Maybe try an acclimation box like Brad's and see how they act together.

+1, the senior clown will still prob harass for a little bit after its introduced, but it should get better

Where can I find an acclimation box. I'll have to have a backup plan just in case it doesn't work out.

Its a simple acrylic box,you can build one for under $20 bucks.Look in Brads thread about them!

 

[gar732]

Cool, will do thanks. Any chance they might pair up?

There is a huge chance that they will pair up.

the newcomer may take a beating for a while but a 75 with plenty of rock should give it an escape route and eventially they may become friends. i did this once and after several months they started hanging out and paired up
