Caryl Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Clowns love company but they will need a few days to settle down. Make sure you have plenty of hidey places for them to get away from each other if required. Rearranging the tank just before adding the new ones would have helped. It would have confused the territorial inclinations of the original fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Yeppers, maybe you can even rearrange the tank now. They will all settle and get along if mine are anything to go by. I have four in one tank and two in the other. Just checking out the new clowns on the block probably. Maybe throwing in a few snails will divert them.

Kellz Posted November 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 They have plently of places to hide.. but they seem to always choose the tiny crack between the interal filters and the wall, look likethey are being squashed to death... heh hence the name "clown" I guess. It was quite cute this mornign all three of them were squashed in a tiny sunken boat having a nap it was like a 3 clown pile up. Tye have their odd chases everynow and again but I guess this is normal..... oh and they like ganging up on my RT shark. heh Kellz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
