Do paired clownfish pair again if split? (More info)

Andresnyc93 · Feb 3, 2022

Hello everyone,
Due to one of my ocellaris clownfish getting aggressive with my last addition of a flame angel I had to remove her from her male and now they’re both in separate tanks.

Will they pair up again if I introduce another clown to each of the different tanks?
was thinking on getting a storm clown and a Picasso.

Make sure any fish added are smaller and you keep the pairs separate.

Depends on the clown. One can successfully ''re-pair" a clownfish, its not uncommon. However it truly depends on wether the clown will pair up.

Yes for sure, was also thinking on getting them both in about 4 weeks to give the clowns some time as well?

Do you think they’ll pair up with a Picasso or a storm more likely? I don’t want to end up spending so much just to let it become money down the drain you know
