Clowns

[advice1]

My two black occlearis(however ya spell it ;-) ) Were friends, and prertty much swimming around normally until I introduced a new frogspawn frag today. The bigger of the two has completely controlled the area near the frospawn now, and only leaves space for the other clown near the back two corners of the tank, and chases it away.

What to do now?

Note that there are typos and sentences may be messed up.. kinda spaced out when my brother walked into the room.

I think the female (the larger one) will let your other clown near the frogspawn eventually. Give it a few days and see if things calm down a bit.

Yeah im dealing with the same problem. The first male was slowly killed, the second was just put in a couple days ago and isnt aloud to swim around or eat yet. anybody know the average time for a clown to pair up in this situation? The first male was a brutal sight.

What species are you working with, batrug?

Advice1, if one is noticeably larger, I would say they're on their way to pairing up.
