Had four, one died, now what

[papatuv]

I had four of the Misbar perculas and at first they all hung out together, even sleeping together. After a short while they started staking their territory but still hanging mostly together. Then kind of pairing off in twos... Unfortunatly I think I had a power head that was too strong and killed one while sleeping. (it was stuck to the intake). Now I have 3 left in the tank. Two are hanging out together more often and the one left is kinda in his own area of the tank.

Do I need to be concerned about fights? Has anyone else had 3 and had any problems?

IMO, the 4th one was weakened because a pair is starting to be formed between two of them. The best bet is to try to sell/trade the 3rd one. I see the 3rd one having the same fate as the 4th one.

I've seen odd lots of clowns before. I'd sell him before I'd risk it tho.

Well im assuming at this point they are all sexually immature because this morning they were all huddled together before the lights came on. They are tank raised clowns and when I purchased them they were all together from the same tank. However, im thinking that one of them is bound to turn into a female and I will have problems.

Any healthy fish will not get stuck to a powerhead.
