Clownfs fighting

[Devan Patel]

Hello, I just bought two small clowns today and one of them isn’t being attacked while the other one is getting attacked nonstop and getting bit. My other two current clowns have been in the tank for 4 years without any trouble. I’ve placed the small clowns in a netting for now to figure out what to do. I don’t want to wake up and see the clowns dead lol.

I’ve attached my two big clowns that have been here. Also if someone can properly ID them that would be great. And I’ve attached the clowns in the net.

What should I do?

How big is the tank? Clowns are pretty territorial especially with other clowns.

why would you put 2 new clowns in a tank with 2 already established clowns?
this imo is just asking for trouble, unless you have a large tank

If this is your WB 50.3 aio, that tank isn't big enough to support 4 clownfish :(

My mistake, I used to have 4 clowns in here no problem

I used to have 4 clowns in here. It used to be 4 cloens, one dottyback, and bristletooth tang

Previously did you add them all at the same time? The only way I could think of making this work would be to remove the old clowns for a bit and move around the aquascape and add them back so theyre less territorial.
