    Ocellaris Clown is kind of boring

    I have a hardy little Ocellaris Clown who is beautiful and sometimes gets playful, and he is a very hungry eater.

    Thing is, he's really boring!! I don't have an Anemone for him so he tends to rub up against the same corner of the tank, where he "wobbles" all day long...

    If I introduced another clown, would this one become more playful and active at swimming in the tank?

    Are there some clowns with more lively personalities then others?

    Re: Ocellaris Clown is kind of boring

    Anemonefish without anemones do better. Neither the anemone nor the fish do well in the relationship despite appearances to the contrary.

    That is a fish's life -- swim about or hang about until the next meal.

    A second Anemonefish may lead to a mated pair causing the female to dominate and pick on the male. (Not a pretty sight).

    Anemonefish aren't all that an active swimmer. If you want action, try a group of Chromis. Not sure of how large your aquarium is, though.
