I have a mated pair of clowns, they are an odd couple and many of you may say its not possible, but it is.
i have 1 black ocellaris and 1 Picasso. at my LFS they were great together, put them on hold for a week checking in everyday to see if they were getting along and to my amazement they were playing dancing etc. plus they are only a few months old!
so yesterday I brought them home and placed them in my tank and right away my black clown was attacking my Picasso. constantly for hours biting, chasing, head butting my poor Picasso. he seemed really stressed like gasping and laying on his side on the surface. I finally bought a breeders net to separate the two and will add her back in, in a few days
now my question is, how come they are doing this now? once peaceful now scary!
my LFS said he was surprised they are fighting because he remembered them being happy. he also mentioned i could return the aggressor for a different clown.
Thanks
