Hello,

I purchased a pair of Onyx Clownfish for my first fish. I put them in quarantine and began observing. One clown would eat and was active, the other not so much. I used prazipro days later and continued to watch. A week later I lost the clown that wasn't eating. The other clown was aggressive towards it, I'm assuming because it was becoming the dominant one of the pair. The dominant clown made it through quarantine and into the display. I would like an ocellaris clown since they are cheaper, but how do I go about introducing this one to the display after quarantine? Will there be issues? Will it become another dominance ritual and then subside or could this turn into an aggressive fight? Can a normal ocellaris and onyx pair up? I'm looking for any advice.

Thanks!
