Keeping multiple CK

[snowhnter]

I have two CK about 12", they fight from time to time. Nothing major, just some scales missing and when they heal up, they go at it again. Is this normal? Will they out grow it? Or should I expect it to continue for as long as I have them?

I would expect this to go on. It sounds like they are coming into maturity and battling for territory. Just my .02

I agree. From the research I've done on CKs, they are tolerant of eachother when they are younger but become much more aggressive toward eachother as they reach adulthood.

Thanks, kinda what I was thinking. I hope they work it out. Would hate to have to get rid of one.

It will most likely get worse as they mature. That's the way clowns are.

From the sound of it, like most things, it varies fish to fish. Guess I'll just have to wait and seen.

How big its your tank have two in my pond 24" and about 16" and they seem to do fine but its 1400gal. They might just need more room and more hiding spots

They are currently in a 125 grow out. Going into a 3000 later. Tyring to get them large enough so the RTC does eat them. Almost there.
