dottyback compatibility

[stanleyg1]

i appreciate all the help man. what would you suggest in place of the dottyback, once i get him out, to join the Ocellaris clown in a 12 gal nano cube? i dont want a repeat of this, so i'm doing the research and not going to rely on the LFS duders (who gave me some bad info so far). can like kind clown's do well in a 12 gal? can you mix clown species in a tank this size? and also, will the 'bites' on the fins heal? and anyone want a dottyback?
cheers!

You should be careful when mixing more than one clowns in a small tank as they can be quite aggressive toward each other, unless they can pair up. I agree with Germanman. My suggestion is royal gramma. Their fins are little longer than dottyback, but they look very similar, even the colors. These are much more peaceful than dottybacks.
