Fish getting along

[gundamseed31]

How can you tell if fish are getting along together or not?
Ex:
I introduce a single clown fish into the tank. After two weeks later...
I introduce another one with one lbs of rocks to change the setting a little.
How can you tell if the two clown fish are getting together or not?
Thank you.

Are they trying to kill each other?

LOL....I think you would notice them fighting.....they can get really mean, and will also leave marks

 

[gundamseed31]

No. They are just swimming around relaxed i guess. I added rock to somewhat change the terrority the first clownfish would not attack the newly introduced one. How would i know if they are getting along together aside from not fighting?

 

[meowzer]

Basically from the LACK of fighting......
so if they are NOT fighting....well then they are getting along...I have 2 clowns in my 225G that are best buds. I had 2 in my 54G that faught....believe me I knew....one clown was tore up....I had to seperate them. I now have one clown in the 54g, and 1 in the 29G LOL

 

[gundamseed31]

XDDD ahh i am so sorry to hear Can a clown fish die from being bully by the other clown? Like not even fighting. Just a submission. Thank you for the quick replies!

 

[meowzer]

If left to be beaten daily, of course it can die.....the wounds can get infected
BUT.....I do not think you have a problem....you would know

It's okay to be aware of what is going on in your tank.....and if you have any questions, feel free to ask

 

[gundamseed31]

Ok thank you! Do you have an idea of what water flow should tank circulate at? Current pump is a 60 GPH. I was thinking either upgrading to a 85 GPH or 120 GPH.

 

[meowzer]

I forget what size tank you have

Also do you have any powerheads?

 

[gundamseed31]

12 gallon. Power head as in the onethat is attach to the tank and shoot water circulation right?

[gundamseed31]

Ya i have a power head. Current flow is 60 gph. Would that be enough?

What kind of teeny powerhead could that be???? A koralia one is 400gph...and a nano is 240gph
ALSO, don;t you have a filter? That adds some flow too

 

[gundamseed31]

Three in one filter? Sponge linked to stable environment and then the water pump that is at 60gph... Lol ya... it came with it. I was thinking of changing it to 120 GPH. Would you suggest that?

Honestly.....I would suggest a koralia 1
can you post a picture or the name of this filter? I'm curious what it is

 

[gundamseed31]

Or the 200 gph riho one.

 

[gundamseed31]

I honestly don't know the brand.
this like the only info i can provide. i don't want to take out the pump right now. Does koralia need a control unit?
