is clown pairing that hard?

I just buy an other false percula and i have one little bigger than which i buy today. big ones pick on new guy so i took small one out and i put him separate container but he is in the tank and i will live him today in there may be he can get used to it and stop bothering new guy and hopefully they can get along.

 

I just did this and went smooth as hell... no problems at all i put the new on in an isolated thing for a while and they checked eachother out...they snapped at eachother a few times but were happy as can be after like 20 minutes...let him in and bam no problems...

 

How big are they, and how big is the tank? Is the "picking" really ferocious or is it a few fin wiggles and then they leave each other alone for a little bit before doing it again?

 

i would say smooth picking but i scared because big one making electro shock dancing and small one stress out but he is eating well. small one 1,5-2" big one 2-2,5"

 

That's normal behavior. Release the little dude and let them do their thing. Let nature take its course. They'll be relatively happy in a day or less (probably less).

 

i hope so mandarin.. i let it go just now and turn all the lights off. led on actually.

 

it should be fairly easy, maybe i just got lucky, lol.

 

i've done it a couple of times...i have 2 pairs of clowns in my 150 g i need to get shots of it as soon as i get my new camera!!! my 20g high i just did this in yesterday and have had no problems...good luck i got a bigger one...cause i've heard that the smaller will turn into the female if im not mistaken and it will be easier...hope this helps!!!

 

larger one female Them clowns like the big girls.

 

Ideally you should add clown at the same time, as if the one already in there has territory then it wont take too kindly to the new member.

Try this when you add the little one back -

Move your rockwork around, turn the lights off, and just as you release the little one into the tank drop some food in.
Hopefully the exsisting clown will be too busy chasing food to notice a new clow in the tank, turning the lights out will make it less stressful for the new fish and changing the rockwork should discourage any territorial claim.
