    I've read that clowns claim territory or hierarchy by swimming with their mouth wide open, almost locked.

    Thank You every one [smiley=thumbs_up.gif] The two seem to be getting along with each other but I will keep an eye on them as I do think that you are correct about Territory / Hierarchy thing. But I think that as the Tang grows the tables will turn for the Clown

    Don't be so sure. Clowns can be as nasty as damsels, being in the same family and all. I had one that performed electrolysis on me every time I put my hand in the tank. It would haul a** from one side of the tank to the other just to get at me :)

    [smiley=laugh3.gif] Considering the clown was female, I don't know whether to be flattered or insulted :)
