Baby clownfish

[dlsrks]

I have an established 75 gallon tank which has fish and corals. Received two new percula clownfish which are pretty small. Put them in the tank and all the fish were after them constantly. Should I worry about that? I took them out and put them in the sump. Don't know whether I should keep them there until they get bigger or go ahead put them back in the tank. They don't go after food agressively or know about hiding in the rocks. My other fish are maroon clownfish, cinnamon clownfish, some damsels, a tang and coral beauty.

I would take them back. It's not a good idea to mix clowns. The new ones will probably eventually be killed by the existing, established clowns in your tank.

I have another tank I think I will set up as a saltwater tank. Can I keep them in the sump until then?

Oh my sump is 75 gallon so they have room to swim in the refugium.

Yeah you can keep them in the sump as long as you want they will be fine in there. There is a guy on youtube that kept a clown in his sump which was diyed out of a 30g for a long time so in a 45g yours will be fine

Thanks for the info. Just wanted to make sure they were going to be ok in there for now.
