    The clown has a high chance of recieving some bullying with a dominate damsel already present within that system.

    If you start to see some aggression, try re-arranging the rock scape to re-establish terrorities, and leaving the lights off intially to allow the clown some time to acclimate in peace.

    My YT is buddies with all of my fish large or small, and he was even the first fish in the tank. I bet you will be ok after a day or two of 'getting to know you' time

    Very cool ;D You gotta respect a fish that backs down a YTD.

    Hopefully they will figure out who is boss.
