Pairing Clowns

[Cking27]

Hey guys.
Trying to pair my maroon with a gorgeous little gold stripe.As expected there was some serious hostility at first. It got so bad(ripped fins and such) I quarantined the big maroon right next to the nem the gold stripe has hosted. My question is when is a good time to let the big guy out gain. I dont want to have to move ALL of my rocks to catch him again if he's still being a punk.
Thank in advance

Good luck, Maroon Clowns are extremely aggressive. There is a good chance they will never pair.

I would wait several days to let them get used to each other in the tank. Then let the bigger out, keep an eye on them. There will still be some aggression still but, as long as it's not too bad let them be and work it out.
