Hello,

roughly 3.5 mth old tank 75 g. Started with 1 yellowtail damsel, after the ammonia and nitrite showed 0 for a couple weeks, I took her out and replaced with 2 clownfish. She has been happy in her little 20g time out tank, I call it.

The clowns in there for 2 weeks ish, I am looking to reintroduce the yellowtail. No one really knows, but I'm curious as to what others experiences have been. The clownfish have their little cave during the day, but at night time the female just goes CRAZY and swims as fast as she can all around the tank. She has pent up energy, I suppose. I know at some point she will intrude into the yellowtai's area.

How to properly re-introduce the fish into the DT? Or is it just a better idea to bring fish back to LFS? Thank you for all recommendations.

I would think everything should be fine.
My clowns pretty much just stay in their corner and ignore everything else going on.
2 clowns and a damsel in a 75G should be just fine.
