Death of a clown

[WesK]

I posted a newish set up last week.

I bought a strawberry gramma which I have since returned owing to its horrendous territorial nature!

The addition hasnt come without casualties thuough...

Ive had an established pair or tank bred perc clowns for some 3 years. They bred frequently and regularly hatched newborns!

Needles to say, i now have one depressed clown who has lost his mate because of the gramma....

Any suggestions??
He is very somber lying on the sand and not eating.

Question is, do i replace or will he get over it? Or slowly die?

Before



After...

Was it the male or female that died?

The female...

Awww... sorry for your loss.
Those sure are pretty.

You can try to get another perc. Best bet would be to buy a larger one than the current male and see how things go. Sorry to hear he lost his mate =(
