Adding one more clown


Pgreco

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I;ve been contemplating this for awhile now. I have a 15 gallon, which was upgraded from a 2 year old ten gallon. Its been running for 3 months now, all reading are good(0 nitrate, 0 ammonia). I have several corals: a frogspawn, xenia, GSP, shrooms, some buttons, and a kenya tree. I currently have a TR perc clown and a yellow/purple pseudo. I want to add another clown(Bali Percula) hoping that it will teach the TR one to host, or at least have one of them hosting. My fear is that adding another fish will increase the bioload and ruin the "perfect" parameters i have strived to acheive.

 

Any suggestions?

just one more...

 

CRASH! :*(

 

it's tempting ain't it? i'd recommend another TR percula to mate with the other. spawning urges can initiate the host/guest behavior as the fish 'set up house'.

 

however, remember the frogspawn or xenia or GSP may not like the guest clown using it as a host. you may end up with a dead coral or territorial dispute between the clowns if you go different species.
