daleroller Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have a 14g Biocube that I set up about 3 weeks ago. I added a little Royal Damsel and some inverts about 2 weeks ago. Today I added a Ocellarius Clownfish and a Royal Gramma. The Royal Damsel is being a little ganster in the tank and nonstop attacking the two new fish(threaten). The Royal Gramma is now cowering in a hiding hole and the Clownfish is still just running away from the little brute. How long is this going to go on for(scratch)? Is someone going to get killed(scary)? There are lots of hiding holes and tunnels in my live rock Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 just get the damsel out.since he was there first he will probably be a tyrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanktop74 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 you can try re-arranging all the rock, that way they are all on an equal playing field. OR you can attempt to get the Damsel out.... which you will have to do by taking out all the rock and re-arranging it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleroller Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 I was out of the offic efor two days. The Damsel is now back to hiding in the rocks and the Clownfish is swimming near the edge of the tank like he wants to get out. THE ROYAL GRAMMA IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am thinking about getting some big brute of a fish to start picking on the Damsel now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 if you wont lose the damsel you can try a not so similar fish such as a goby or blenny.even a small wrasse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleroller Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 I like the Idea of a goby, maybe one of the yellow watchman types. Why would the Clownfish swim at the front of the tank? Is that normal, or is he trying to get out. The Damsel has lost all inmterest in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 sometimes the occelaris and perculas like swimming at the front surface of the water.i have a few that like swimming into the flow of return pumps.if he is eating and looks well i wouldnt worry.

MarkBirkett Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 A Clown fish is in the damsel family. Both can be brutes in a small tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
