Another clown problem

[J.russell]

So I got 2 saddleback clowns the otherday who were both trying to host in my bubble coral. Well I went out and bought a LTA. Well the next day they were both hosting the anem. Now when one of the clowns (the female I think) is in the anem, she bullies and beats on the other clown and wont let him near it. Is this normal behavior or what?

Would buying another anem for the other clown be a good idea?

That sounds normal,she will eventually let him in.My females kept the males out for about 2 months.

He seems sad and started swimming around at the top of the tank most of the time. He comes down for about 5-10 min. at a time a few times a day but other than that he just hangs out at the top.

He will do better when things settle down.Females can get pretty rough with the males.

Aint that the truth. I guess its no different in the fishy world than in ours

 

[SNAKEMANVET]
