    I have a new male again for her... he looks JUST like her! Same size and all.... I put an eggcrate divider in the tank to let him acclimate before mixing the 2... She was a bit mean to him so I felt this would be the safest way to do it.

    The male that was with her is now with the female in the 20 gallon tank.

    The one on the left I have grown out from about two inches... The one in the right is the new male... If she will leave him alone or he will stand up for himself I will be happy.... I REALLY want these two to pair up and spawn...

    lol sounds like my clowns, i don't plan on breeding them or anything. But their supposed to be a pair as that's what i bought them as, and the female has been totally beeting up the male, i guess this is normal for clowns. But i wish my male would just stand up for himself as well especially since he's have the size as the female

    I think I found the idea of ideas... I switched the pairs of fish in their tank so the 2 blues are playing nice in the 20 gallon and the 2 reds are more active in the 30 and playing nice....

    Why didnt I think of moving the females before??????

    I didn't say anything about goldfish, but now that you mentioned it they are much better behaved.

    These 2 are still liplocking and bickering... I have caught both of them the past 2 days cleaning that filter intake I have in for them to spawn on....

    I think these will be my first to spawn of this arrangement of fish....
