Unfortunately before I could get a lid built, my dominant female (determined by watching the other clown do the mating shimmy over and over) jumped the tank
. The remaining male is about 2" long, a little over a year old, and has been in this tank since September. Now the predicament I run into is replacing that female and I want to get an idea of the best practice when doing so. Would it make more sense to get a bonded pair that is smaller and see how it plays out? Or find a smaller single clown and hope the existing one turns female?
Tank is a 100g 4'x2'x20" with open rockwork, existing fish are a tomini tang, copperband butterfly, royal gramma, banggai cardinalfish, and the 2" snowflake. I do have an acclimation box and planned on that being used no matter what. I don't have any anemones in the tank and they existing clowns didn't host in any corals so I think that is in my favor.
