Sorry to hear. My first pairing, I lost the female to carpet surfing too.

I was able to make a new pair by letting the male become female and then getting a new tiny male. Took a while for the pairing and changes to occur but it panned out. Something to keep in mind for down the road maybe..

Thanks, yeah that was what i was thinking I will have to do. Do you know how long it will take for him to turn female? I'm in no rush, I don't have a QT tank set up right now and I want to give it a lot of time.

Some of the black clowns are occellaris, no? I've seen black/orange pairings, is it recommended?

That sux. I have a female in one of my tanks that I kinda wish would carpet surf. Bites me every time I stick my hand into the tank.

Poor little guy .
Don't know whats worse, loosing one to carpet surfing or having to watch the remaining one spend hours looking for his mate .

Sorry to hear Keri. One of mine died a few years back and I was really bummed; because I have had them for awhile, also couldn’t stand to see the one so lonely and got one within a week and they were fine still have them laying like crazy.

Thanks all - I was eyeballing one at the LFS today but I will have to wait.
