New Maroon clown

[ken6217]

I got this yellow stripe maroon clown the other day. She is about 4" and 5/8' thick at her widest, and eats like a pig. Unfortunately the picture doesn't do it justice as it is overexposed. The yellow doesn't come through that great in the picture.
Check out the barbs in the second picture.

So far she is pretty calm. She doesn't bother her "mate" at all even though they are not a pair. She does constantly swim around looking for food. I would hate to see if she nips though as I had to get the net out of her mouth when I put her in the tank. My little one nips at me when I put my hand in the tank but I don't feel it. This one may be a different story.

what do you mean not a pair if they dont kill eachother arent they a pair or at least on their way???

I meant that I didn't buy them together. I bought the smaller one along with one that was much smaller than that one (also not bought as a pair). The larger one chased the smaller one and eventually I found the smaller one on the carpet all dried up.

I saw the new giant one last week and thought I would take a shot and if it didn't work out, return her to the store. I put her in the tank and the other one that used to be the aggressor, immediately swam up and shimmied up to the new larger fish. So I'm not sure if newly submissive fish was not a female yet, or if I have a pair of lesbian clowns on my hands.
