Misbar Percula and Black Ocellaris

[Braxis]

I have a large female Black Ocellaris that I have had for a few years in a 12 gallon tank. I have just recently started a 35 gallon hexagon and moved her, firefish and a clown goby. Today I got a misbar percula and add him in.

The female chased him a little. Flattened a mushroom and herded him to it. And chased him away and back again.

Now lights are out and the clown goby is chasing the poor little guy from the bottom caves.

GOOD LUCK! I hope your ocellaris pair up with the black ocellaris.

They are hanging out and swimming around with each other but she will not let him in her cave yet.

It might take some time before she let's him share her cave.

That is fine as long as they are getting along. He sure is a good looking clown.

Edit: you can't tell from the pic cause my camera is broke and all I have is my phone

The little jerk won't eat any of the food I give him. He bites it and then spits it out. He ate like a champ at the store. Should I try the food they where feeding him at the lfs?

That couldn't hurt. Often times clowns spit food when it is too big for them to eat.

I got the Hikari small sinking pellets and he ate. He is still timid but still swimming around the tank. When the lights are on he does not go far from the mushroom unless he is swimming around with the female.

The black on my misbar percula has gotten darker and some of the orange as well. He is 2+ months old how long does it take for the coloration to complete?
