helen2 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I have a 10 gallon tank with two juvenile clownfish. The second clownfish was introduced to the tank one week after I got the first one. However, the second one has been extremely aggressive to the point that the first clownfish only stays in one corner of the tank and doesn't swim around actively anymore. He looks miserable :'( How can I reduce the aggression for clownfish #2? Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 How can I reduce the aggression for clownfish #2? How large are they? Ideally you want them to have a big size difference. Then it'll be easier for them to get the dominance thing going and pair up. Link to comment

Then it'll be easier for them to get the dominance thing going and pair up. They're both about one inch, but bully clownfish #2 is a bit larger. I rearranged the rock work a bit today to see if that'll reduce the aggression. Also, clownfish #1 seems to be a bit more active (but nowhere near as active as pre-clownfish #2 days) during lights out. Link to comment
helen2 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 This has been happening for about a week and a half now. How long does it take for them to sort out who's the dominant one? Link to comment
