Hello,
I have a 20 and 10 gallon tanks now. When I started 10 gal tank about 1and half years ago, I put the orange clownfish for the cycle. And about 6 months ago I started 20gal tank and a month later I put a new black clownfish and original clownfish together same time at 20gal tank. The original clownfish is about 2" and new one is 1.5". Because orange one is very aggressive so I was very worry at that time. However, they seems fine. When original tried to attack black one, the black shake his body. After shaking his body the original one did not attacking him. So, I thought they were fine. However, these days, the black clownfish's fin was ripped. And I saw the black clown tried against original one. I put 2 caves for both clownfish but the original clown used it both. The black one slept outside of cave. I saw black one want to take one of cave but orange one did not allow. I know they are not mate yet but is that still possible to pairing them? I don't think they are both females but I want to make sure. Please give me any advice.
Thank you
