Hello about 6 hours ago I bought a pair of Japanese Saddleback Clownfish I added them to my 30 gallon with 3 other normal clowns and the normal clowns hatted the Saddleback clowns and nipped at there fins. So I acclimated the Saddleback clowns to my other 50 gallon tank with a big Martin clownfish and a Wrase. At first the maroon clown started swimming fast at the smaller male saddleback clown trying to nip at him. This went on probably about 2 hours. I had enough so I did a 20% water change and moved around the rocks so the Maroon clown would be less agressive to the saddleback clowns. Do you think this will work.

you are not supposed to mix different species of clowns in smaller tanks since they will often have problems. maroons are known to be more aggressive. probably won't work out with the maroons unless there is plently of space for both
