My clowns...

[SnEaKyPoLoCk]

I just added a B&W Misbar Ocellaris to my tank about 3 days ago and at first my Reg. Ocellaris (Been in the tank about a month) was aggressive but now they never leave each other's side for very long. Everything I've heard, seen, and read about clown fish is that they dislike one another till one becomes the female... (Even then it's rough for the male), but that's considering they are the same type. My questions are:


Is this normal? (Since they are both Ocellaris?)
Anyone seen it before? (Make me feel special!)
Are they bonding?

Here's a better pic. Ignore the dead Frogspawn Coral in the back... Got the thing from Fish Bowl (Won't do that again...)

Im no clown expert, but it sounds like you're OK.
if they are swimming happily together it sounds like they have paired up pretty well. It looks from the pics that your B&W is a bit larger than your Osc. your B&W may be a female already and your Osc may be a male already, making things much easier.
either way, as long as you dont have a clown death match on your hands they will work things out.
Cheers

Actually they are almost the same size its just the way the Osc. was swimming down makes it look smaller...

Nice clowns. Was wondering if anyone know if they will mate? I'm looking to pair up my percula, it would be cool to have a orange and black become a mated pair.

You have just as good of a chance pairing up a black and white with orange and white as two of the same color...
