What's his story? Was he bought as a juvi and spent his whole life in your tank alone?

No I had another one first and then bought him and they were two peas in a pod then at night they started fighting when the lights went out during my green tank episode and when the green cleared up the first clown was gone.
You told me to wait and see if this one grows and it doesnt look like he is so maybe hes a male?

If he is alone then he will become female, if he hasn't already. I am sorry that you lost your other fish.

Yeah, that was my thinking. That's why I told her to wait until it changes completely, then add a smaller clown.

Poor thing it suffered thru green water, the loss of its mate..what more does it have to do through
LMAO and he has to share his tank with a giant powder blue tang
Its the clowns fault for being such an emotional fish.
How do you know when they have "changed" This is the first time he/she has been "sleepin" around like this. Could it be changing now?

I had 2 like you and one died during a tank crash. I just recently got a second one to replace him and keep the other one company. The new one is in QT so the old one owns the tank... and I mean Owns...
That little b@sturd OR B@stess bites me anytime I come near his/her side of the tank and it's a 220.
It's not much of a bite but I can see why when they get big, thats gonna hurt. I hope the ungratefull little wanker appreciates me once they are introduced.
or will i just have 2 of them biting me. LOL

I dont really understand why you have yet to get him a mate or friend. Even if it is male still he will change over if the clown you get is smaller.
Go get him a friend. No reason to wait. Just make sure you get captive bred so it doesnt show up with brook. and kill both.

I second that. Just make sure you put in a smaller clown. I had a male and female for about a year and the female developed a tumor that killed her. The male was lost without her. Within a week or so I went back to LFS where they tank raise them and purchased one of the smallest clowns they had. My boy quickly became the big Mama and there was minimal agression through the process. Hope that helps.
