Sad news: it seams my new clown has not survived the harrasment of the old male. Disappointing.

It is best to separate them through eggcrate, or best is to take the old one out and put both clown fish (old and new) into a quarantinen tank.

That's what I did with my female that was alone for 1 year. I took her out and put her at the same time as my new (much smaller one) into a quarantine tank.

That way the female is not so territorial and she will be more prone to accept the new one.

They formed a couple after 4 weeks in quarantine so I could put them back into the main tank after 6 weeks without problem. If needed, it is a lot easier to separate the tank in half with eggcrate if there is fighting to let them get used to each other.
