i have a question about my clowns....

[ladyreefer1983]

What's your question ?

 

[ladyreefer1983]

then i put them in the new tank.............
they soon host a torch..

 

[ladyreefer1983]

then i got a new pair..........

 

[ladyreefer1983]

so i quickly took the old ones out and put them back in the qt...and put the new ones in the new tank...

 

[ladyreefer1983]

i decided why not put them all together and see if they will get along..so thats what i did today....

 

[ladyreefer1983]

my question is...are they gonna get along?????i watch them for 30 mins...at first they were checking each other out....swims together,im like relieved and so happy cause they all look very cute swimming...then all of a sudden the old ones started chasing the new ones one by one...so i quickly catch the old ones...
did i made the right decision or theyre just getting use to each other???

i really wanna keep all of them together in one tank...is this possible???thanks...
im just scared that the cheap ones(old clowns) will scare and bully the pricey ones(new clowns)....

thanks

From my understanding, you should have introduced them all at the same time.
I think you may be ok though. Clowns do live in groups in the big blue ocean. Just watch them carefully bud !

2 will pair and kill the other 2. Even if you added them all at the same time its a 50/50 shot they would get along.

yeah,the semi picasso pair(i got for cheap) start chasing the other much nicer clowns(expensive) one by one...the nicer clowns are calm and just hide and swim as fast as they could so i decided to catch the semi picasso pair....
i dont wanna end up losing the nicer ones which i paid for a lot....

i watch them for like 30 mins and my heart was beating fast...once they start chasing my snowcasso and they didnt leave him alone then i quickly grab the net and catch them...now they are back in the qt...

i think thats already the sign that they are not gonna get along so i guess i will just keep the 1 pair...
