Removing a Clownfish

I have 2 Oscellaris Clowns one large female and one small male and was thinking of taking out the large Female. I am hoping the BiColor Blenny and Flame Angel start eating the frozen food. I have seen the Clown chase the Blenny. The Blenny and Angel both just pick at the rock so they are eating something. Would anyone else remove the clownfish to take a chance that the Angel and Blenny will be more comfortable and eat? I could get a new smaller clownfish and hope for the best. I might wait a week though since the Blenny and Angel are new and see if they eventually start to eat. I might get some live brine tomorrow and see if that helps. Keep the mean clown or not? I don't know how long the other fish can live without me seeing them eat frozen. The blenny looks a little thin and has verticle white stripes that come and go.
Thanks,
Adam

 

If you can separate the offender in a screened off area/fish cage etc., for long enough that the newcomers can get comfortable with their safety and surroundings, he may very well leave them more alone once he gets out. Something that allows him to see them, but not bully them like a divider or acrylic box with holes.

 

Flame Angel

I have a in-tank acrylic refugium that I could put him into only if I can get him. Any good suggestiuons on getting him out if I have to? I want to wait a week or 2 and see if things work themselves out. Even if I remove him I wonder if its too late cause he already caused some stress and made the Angel hide

Go fishing... Super tiny barbless hook with her favorite chow..

(i know it sounds bad but it works.. just watch out for other fish that might grab it) and this isnt the most humain way to do it.. you could use a trap..

 

Sometimes it's just easier to bite the bullet and start rearranging to get the fish out. Had to do recently myself and it's a pain but if you take the right care when removing rock, corals, etc, everything should be fine

 

i have done it also by leaving the net hanging in the tank for a day or more till the clown gets used to it and feed regular without moving the net then when she leasts expects it, snatch, it has worked for me many times....
