[nanokid]

Today i bought some small clowns that look just alike. I did everything right this time told the owner to feed them picked out which ones i wanted. I got 1 small and the other a little bet larger. They look just alike but i noticed the bigger one waz kinda goin after the little one but sometimes they will stick close to other and swim. What did i do wrong did i get 1 ocellaries and the other perc clown?? plz help me out im gettin tired of doing something wrong with clownfish? :help: :help:

o yeah if this helps they came from the same tank and there waz nothing but small ones less than a inch and some where about a inch. My bigger one is about a inch and the other small one is like little bigger than half a inch and when I got them they where tank raised and they all formed a little ball. There waz like 20 in the ball of clowns.

The big clown keeps goin after the little one now!

My clowns did the same thing at first, and still do occasionally. If you're worried about them being the same species, post some pics and you'll no doubt get feedback.

i will post some pics up but first when i turned off the lights i could see them getting along very well and the whole night they where next to each other. Till I turned the lights on the big one went right back at it with the little one and the little one does the shimmy sometimes :happyfish

it dosent look like the big one is hurting him. The big 1 just seems to be goin after him. I see no marks on the little ones tail or on its skin. It looks normal

Well, your first post was yesterday, and if you just got them then, I'm fairly certain this is the pairing that happens naturally. First, the larger one has to determine it's dominance, and it becomes the female. The smaller one will become the male if it's not already. This is natural and I wouldn't worry unless the smaller one starts showing signs that it's actually hurt, though I doubt it will come to that.
