I have a mated pair. the female is aggressive, and they are also the hardest to pair. Even males that submit usually get the dead anyway. Even if she accepts they are not often egg layers. However i have mine in a red bubble (their choice, as i wanted them in my carpet) and while she wonders a bit never to far. I have 3 clarkii's as well that 2 paired and took to the carpet which wonders time to time. Settled 3' away (8' total length) and the third outlyer clarkii gets between the 2 pairs. Been this way for a year and I find the female while she bites me is far less agressive with other fish than the clarkiis who always chase off the chromis. One of the best looking and bad ***** clowns I have ever seen/owned. If we move/downsize, or otherwise change things, these Maroon stripped clowns and my Comet (marine beta) will stay no matter what.
Yes, bites me every time. love asking the wife to help grab stuff. We keep laughing at eachother when we jump straight up when she bites even though we know it will be coming. riot, gets you everytime. Donno why. Awesome.
