How aggressive are they being? If itโ€™s just chasing and a nipped fin or two, it will just be them fighting over who will become the female. If youโ€™re seeing one pinned into the corner of the tank then they may need to be separated. You could also try to tape a mirror onto the side of the tank, common tactic with tangs but would work with clownfish also. I wouldnโ€™t worry about it personally unless one of them is being lethargic or showing severe fin damage. Clownfish can be sold as a โ€œpairโ€ as long as they have been kept in the same tank with limited aggression

Yeah, the one that out get pinned to the bottom. What should I do just let the fight it out the little one fins are biting up a little

The guy that sold them to me told me the other day it was a group of them in the same tank for a while.

Is your tank an all in one or does it have a sump? If it has a sump, you can put the aggressive one down there so the beaten up one can get settled in for a bit. You can also leave him in that little enclosure as a sort of acclimation box. Rearrange some rocks even to reset territory. If you want them both in the tank free you can divide the tank in half with egg crate with one on each side

It only a 15gallon helloreef kit. How long should I keep the mirror on the tank ?

User Avatar @bucrob 37d

I would say about a day or two. If the aggression continues throw it back on

Okay thank you

I had to put one of my clowns in one of those a couple times. I left him in there for like 2-3 weeks one time and now they donโ€™t fight anymore.

Did you put aggressive one in there?

Yup
