Tomato clown Q:?

[lunchmeat]

I have one tomato clown. Is it ok to put other types of clowns with him? It seems hard to find tomatos around here plus I really want a black clown fishy:lol2:

No. I have a tomato, and an ocellaris in the same tank, the tomato has got to go. The ocellars is actually the dominant of the two.

Probably wont work!Tomatos can be very mean and nasty!

Well I went out and got him a another tomato to hang out with and he beat up on the new one the whole first day. I thought he was gonna kill the new one. But now they are hanging out like best buddies!

It's not really "buddies", it's actually a mating thing...they're eventually going to form a pair, with the larger, more dominant clown becoming a sexually mature female (which, depending on how long you've had the first one, "he" might already be), and the other becoming a sexually mature male. If you see them squabbling even after the new fish has settled into the tank, that's what's happening--they're trying to hash out who's going to be the female (aka, in charge) and who's going to be the male.
