This is Sad!!! pairing different colors...

[chevster]

i use to have a pair of yelow striped maroon clowns.. they were so cute cudling their sebae anemone...

but since yesterday, i saw the male clown died.. i dont know why... now my big, fat female clown is all lonely...

so i tried searching a yellow striped maroon clown in my city if there was one for sale, but none.. only the white striped maroon clownfish..

my question is... can i get a small, white striped maroon clownfish and try to pair it up with my yellow striped maroon clownfish... i mean they are both maroons... do you think this will work, or has someone ever tried this??

Sorry for your lost. I have one of each and they have paired or tolerated each other for 2 months in a GBTA.

Here is my fem WSM and male GSM, and I highly rec intro in specimen container as the female may be verry fussy who she mates with, and from my exp band color alone means little.
Even w/ spec cont intro, she killed first 2 small males immediately.
One was WS, other GS.
3rd try I could tell immediately she was going to accept him.

another question...

another question...

since my boy clown died, the female wont go into the anemone... whats wrong...

and is there a way i can get it to go back cuddling with the anemone???

Hard to say.
Maybe double check params to make sure all is cool/healthy.
If so try a new male in cont where she can see/smell him, watch for submissive twitching from male.
Could take 2-3 days.
You should be able to tell if fem wants to kill it, or accept it.
Expect some light badgering from her, no major bites/fin tearing.
