Got 2 Allard Clownfish on 3-22
1 died on 3-25
The LFS will replace the Clown.
Question is after this Clown being the King of the tank for the last 3 weeks,would I be chancing putting in another Clown ? Think they would fight?
The current Clown does not bully the Chromis or Firefish,but has nudged
the Flamehawk a few times.I'm not that concerned about the Hawk though as it can take care of itself.
The Clown right now definately cruises the tank as if it owns every inch.
Also got a Kole Tang that was kinda beat up. I put it in the tank and although I never saw the Clow attack it,the fish had some cut marks on its side(maybe from a piece of liverock?) and only managed to live 1 day. Again,never seen any fish attack it.
Now not sure if I should get another Kole too,or was it destined for doom due to the beating it got prior to me getting it?
So anyone with Allard Clown how are their attitudes?
Anyone with good Clown knowledge have any advice?
Thanks
P.S The tank is a 125 gal

Personally, I would not take the risk. If the clown is showing even the slightest bit of aggression (i.e., nudging the hawkfish), it's a fairly good indicator that it will not take kindly to another clownfish in the tank. But, as I'm sure you know, anything can happen in this hobby.
