how to introduce another clown

[BcAquatics]

i have a female wild caught true percula clownfish in her tank with a small ocellaris clownfish that i want to move.

So basically i have another tank raised true percula that i would like to put into the tank with my wild caught, but the problem is they are both around the same size, about 3-4 inches. my wild caught is rahter aggressive and even will nip at the small ocellaris.

is there any way to add the tank raised with no problems from the wild caught? do i need to take the wild caught out for a few hours while i have the tank raised in there? any tricks?

Usually i put the new clown in a breeder net look but no touch for a week or two and see if there is any aggresion.

I just went through the same thing. I got a container poked holes in it and put the new one in it for 3 days then let it out and everything was fine.

If both clowns are females it won't work out. Need to add a male

noboddi.....so when dealing with a wild and a TR, the normal process of one fish changing sex will not occur?
