Hi all,
I just got a second clownfish to add and wanted to pick your brains about how long to keep the newcomer in an acclimation box before releasing. Here are my factors. The current clownfish is about twice the size of the new addition, hopefully this instantly will set the role decisions aside. Best outcome is they get along immediately. My concerns are the current clownfish ibites my hand anytime I am in the tank, however, aside from this it is a model citizen. Other inhabitants are, tomini tang(med), pair engineer gobies(large), long nose hawk(large). Of course I want to pull the door open and release him right away but am thinking this weekend should be enough time. New comer was added about 26 hrs ago. I appreciate any insight and hope you have a good day.
