I've got a Black Percula, an oscellaris, and a Maroon clown all together in a 105g with extensive rockwork. The Maroon definitely gets her way, but doesn't make any real effort to harrass the other two. She has her spot and the others know what will happen if they try to move in on it. At least that's the way it's been for going on 5 years, until now.
The maroon really never "attacked" the oscellaris. The small male always submitted to the maroon when she charged him. The percula was always driven away until recently. Now, all three are suddenly acting all buddy buddy with each other. The percula used to "sleep" on the other side of the tank. Lately, they're all together when the light comes on and nobody's being aggressive to anybody.
I always assumed that the maroon had accepted the oscellaris, but now I don't know what's going on. Has anyone ever had a similar experience?
By the way, I didn't know that you weren't supposed to put them all together when I first started my SW tank.
Also, I'd love for them to pair up. Should I leave them alone?
