LMAO Peter that's cute
looks basslety and the other is a little black and clowny!!

 

[nyckeeandnate6]

They are still pretty much hiding and I can never get pictures of fish that are not blurred sorry. I will try but no promises

Careful--saddlebacks can be pretty mean.

My local fish store just got part of the ora shipment and has a baby sadle back and spot cinctus Sry on spelling. But they all look Awsome.

Right now the saddle-back is being relentlessly bullied by the other clown. The clown is perfectly fine with the basslet, but hates the new clown.
Here are some pictures They suck but at least you can see the fish

cute clown!

 

[nyckeeandnate6]

Thanks. I got him on sale for $14.99

Is the other clown a different species? How big is the tank?

 

[nyckeeandnate6]

29 gallon and the problem is our other clown has been in the tank for over a year with he mate who recently died. She is a basic percula clown. She is so territorial that she attacks us when we have our hand in the tank.

 

[Pufferpunk]

I bet you're not gonna be able to keep another species with it in a tank that size.

 

[nyckeeandnate6]

We will see. I have no where else to put him so if all else fails the percula will go bye bye one way or another. We are most likely going to rearrange the tank to see if that helps.

 

[Pufferpunk]

Rearranging a tank with territorial fish in it, is always a good idea when introducing the new inhabitant. I suggest taking out the aggressive clown, redecorate, add the other fish, let the new guy find a territory & then put the mean fellow back. Good luck!

I had a couple mated saddlebacks i gave them to inland to breed.

I have a mated pair of saddlebacks. The female tried 3 different times and nearly killed the male. I'm betting that another species will be even more irritating. The problem may be, when the saddleback starts being agressive the percula may not be able handle the beating like my big saddleback did. BTW, my pair are separated now until I get them in a bigger tank with totally different rockscaping.
