Not sure if you know this, but all clowns start out as males. When they mature the dominant one becomes a female. If the female didn't like the other clown in there or it was refusing to submit, I imagine that could be why there were problems. I suggest getting another clown, make sure that it is significantly smaller than the one you have in there. Hopefully, she will accept this new clown and they will pair up. I hope all goes well for you. GLTA
