Will clownfish fight to death?

[marcosnano]

Hello fellow reefers,

I had 1 clowfish in my tank for few weeks and I'm trying to pair it, I took one slightly bigger and stronger clown today.

They start fighting immidietly, it is really not nice scene to look at.

New fish is stronger and she is cashing the old one old the time now. Old clown looks pretty stressed out.

Will she fight her until she is dead or will she asset her dominance and they will eventually stop?

Im freaking out just looking at them.

Thank you!

You want to get one smaller. This gives you a better chance it didn't start to transition.

I see.

What are the odds that those fish start to get along?

0. You will end up with 1 clown

I will try to catch her and return it to LFS tomorrow.

I will trade it for smaller one.
