    When I added my mandarin everything in the tank went after him in the few seconds it took for him to drop from the surface to the sand. My ocellaris clown was biting him and I had to push it away. Since then nobody in the tank seems to even notice him. I think it's because he is new. I'm betting he'll get used to the new face in town and accept him.

    What did you switch the trigger or goby? A trigger in the 29 will be much more aggressive as they have much less room and will fight to keep their territory, the entire tank. While if given more room, they can be much less aggressive.

    well i switched the goby since he is the one hurt..
    the trigger pretty much ignored the clowns.

    don't count on that lasting forever.
    Especially in a small tank, once a trigger "goes aggressive", they usually stay that way.
    sorry.
