new maroon clown

[GLXTRIX]

so i added the new maroon clown I got to the tank with 1 maroon and an anemone in it, guy got beat up the first night, this morning, new guy was about to get picked on when the lights came on, but he opened a can! Not only did he beat up the old clown, but he took his anemone! Thats gangsta!!!! lol. They are stating to twitch against eachother so thats a good sign but when they get into it, whew its kinda crazy. The new one is a bit bigger than the older one, which you should do with maroon clowns, but im sure it could have been bigger, just cant suffice paying over 30 for them. But he's a great lookin clown, I'll get some pics tonight

I have tried getting a mate for my maroon but they always fight and didn't want to loose one. They are now in different tanks. Let me know how it goes should I just let em duke it out?

how much larger was the new one you added? They say the larger the better because dominance will be established faster. Mine are doing alright, one has a mouth size bite in his dorsal fin, thats not so good, but mela fix will take care of that That stuff is magic in a bottle! The whole dukin out is up to you, mine fought pretty hard and i was about to take them out, but then I noticed them doin the whole twitchin deal, that a start of a good sign. Unfortunately maroons are one of the most aggressive clowns, I'ld say try it but make sure you watch them.

If you move your rocks around in the original's normal place and add the new one, it should be alot easier for him.
