Fighting clowns....

[EnderG60]

So I got 5 onyx clowns from a local breeder(always wanted a group of them) for my 300g. Ive had them all for about 6 months now(they should be about a year old at this point) and they are all fat and healthy, but two of them are constantly fighting. I have one larger one which should be the female, two med ones which are fighting and then two more small ones.

They all live in a RBTA I have, and for the most part are all doing fine. But these two med ones are always fighting. Its not bad they just circle around and push each other so there is never any damage to either. But this has been going on almost non stop for 4 weeks now.

I think they are fighting to see who gets to be the male.

Im wondering if I should just let them sort it out or try to remove one?

This thread may end up being a sticky

:worried:

oh and these clowns were separated and put in a group by themselves at one month, and I picked them up at around 6 months old and they have been in my tank since.

In my opinion, you are likely to end up with TWO clowns.

Odd Ive seen this method(buying from a breeder at a young age) work out just fine 4 separate times.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
