Yes, they have been chasing each other around a bit. I use to have 2 black/white ocellaris with 2 orange/white ocellaris and they got along fine without fighting. But I lost the 2 Black/white clowns to a tank crash. Before buying them again I asked about it and he said that it should be fine if I got a bigger one. I guess if the chasing doesn't stop then I'll have to trade them in.
I will try the garlic method. Thanks!

Those look like the saddleback variant, I had a pair but sold them as they were the absolute meanest fish I had ever owned...
 They look small yet..but I wouldn't try to keep them with other clowns. There could definitely be some biting going on..

Yeah, those are not B&W occelaris
 He should credit you if he sold you the wrong fish.

Really? Boo that sucks. The sticker on the tank even said Black Ocellaris. So I have 4 tank bred Orange/White Ocellaris and the 2 new Black ones. Who would be the aggressor long term? Right now the Orange/White Ocellaris are doing all the chasing. But they all sleep close to each other at night.

Juvenile B&W occelaris: (adults are usually a solid black and white)
 saddleback clown:  Look at the differences in the caudal, pectoral and dorsal fins, hopefully this helps determine what you've got. I'm not sure who would ultimately win but from my understanding the occelaris are one of the wimpier clowns. Last edited by Keri; 06-29-2008 at 08:21 PM.

OMG!! What a disasterous day. I've been unsuccessful in catching those Black/White Clowns for a refund. I saw them attacking one of my smaller Orange/White clowns today. Then after I returned home from dinner my RTBA got sucked into the powerhead...<sigh>. I managed to carefully detach it, so maybe it'll still make it.
Anyways, I've been searching the forums and saw that some people had success using the inverted pop bottle method to catch a fish. Just wonder what type of food I can use to only attract the Black/White clowns? It would be a cage match if both types of clowns got in. Thanks for any advice!
