Clown turned on partner

[spiderman097]

Alright, I have 3 ocellaris, and 2 black and white ocellaris in my 75g. For 2 years, they all got a long very well. The 3 ocellaris always stayed together, and the 2 black and whites always stayed together. But in the last 2 weeks, The bigger of the 2 black and whites turned on its pair. The big black seemed to join the reg ocellaris' gang, and now they all bully the small black and white.

He's so scared, he actually built himself a cave to live in.

Any tips on how to get them all to get a long together again?

what size is the tank?

Finally reached sexual maturity, expect more aggression and loss.

size is 75g. Should I isolate the larger female with the smaller juvenile, and try to pair them up?

My female clown beat the male up so much he spent the rest of his short life trying to host my rabit fish. The rabit didn't mind but the clown couldn't cope with its toxins. Good luck with yours hope they pair back up. but I wouldn't try to force them togeather she would probably try to kill him

You should be able to pair them up. However, in that size tank you should probably get rid of the others.
