Royal Gramma and BlackCap VS False Percs

eternitybc · #1 08-20-2010, 03:27 AM

So I have been watching them a bit more tonight and I'm wondering if the clowns are just curious of these new fish. They aren't making any real aggressive moves they just head over when they see them come out of the rocks. Its more like they are trying to play but instead just swim close to each other in an uneasy way. I'm new to this so maybe its just normal?

My BlackCap picked the same rock structure to call home as my pair of clowns. He lasted about a week and then jumped out of the tank. Make sure you have a good cover.

I believe that the clowns are showing that they are a pair and not to come to close to their area. My clowns do this any time I have added fish to my tank they settle down and life goes on. as long as the new fish do not move in to the clowns rock structure or hosting spot. That does also mean the area they tend to stay closest to, it could be the top of the tank a little rock on the bottom of the tank and so on .
Clowns will host anything, even the surface of the water and equipment.
