My Clown is gone :(

[bpal]

So I spoke to my sisters today and they told me one of my clowns went missing. I just got home and finally found him in the back of the tank DOA.
I just picked up my clown on Wednesday and they were doing great and they even paired off so it was awesome but my remaining clown is all alone. They were Percula Clowns.

So my question is this: My one Clown looks lonely and seems to be swimming where he can see his reflection (I think). They originally only swam together on the right side of my tank but now the remaining clown has moved to the back left side of the tank. If I was to get another clown could I have the luck of paring again or is it just going to be aggression city?

I know I'm prolly going to be asked what my water prams are but I can not answer that right now. I'm going to get everything tested tomorrow to see if anything is of in the tank but all my invertebrates and corals seem to be doing fine.

If you are interested in what my other tank inhabitants are have a look at: http://crazedbrain.blogspot.com/

Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank You.

Yeah, get the water tested first and make sure your parameters are OK.

It's certainly possible to get another clown and have it pair up with your existing fish. Choosing another Perc of differing size would help minimize problems. A small juvenile is probably your safest bet.

Yep, get a small one and you have a good chance it will pair up with your existing one. Percs ans Ocellaris aren't as aggressive as other species, so that gives you an even better chance.

Clowns are hermaphrodites. They start as males, and the bigger of the two will turn female.
