Clownfish aggression

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.
