Is my clown okay?

[PoppyD88]

I have a 55 gallon tank, 40lbs of live rock, 60lbs of live sand. My tank has properly cycled, I put in a Scooter Goby, purple firefish, Wyoming white clownfish, and black Ocellaris all from the same LPS. The Wyoming white is about double the size of the black clownfish. It was attacking the black clown for a few days, i thought they were pairing but then i found a chunk out of the top fin, so i put the Wyoming white in a “jail” breeder mesh box. I’ll reintroduce the Wyoming in a week, then i’ll do a black out for 24hrs. Does my Black clown look okay? Will he be okay with just a missing piece? Or should i medicate him in a QT? Do you think they’ll get along in the future, even maybe pair?

Pretty typical. He will be ok. Sometimes pairing is rough.

He should be okay my clowns beat each other up way more than this when they were pairing up. Good diet, feed a smaller amount multiple times a day, and a stress free environment is what this guy needs to recover he will regrow the fin just fine

Do you think my two clownfish are too different in size? Like someone said that they’re too different in size to pair up.

Sometimes the really big clown and really small clown method works, sometimes the female is too aggressive. I’d say see how the time-out goes and try again. If it still doesn’t work then I would suggest picking a favorite and trading the other one in.
