    long story short my clowns are pretty mean. any new fish i add to the tank they immediatly start attacking and all the sudden that fish goes missing in a day or 2. should i trade my 2 clowns for 2 diffrent ones at the lfs? i like my clowns but i would like more than 2 clowns in a 90g

    they host a huge toadstool like its there job. i tried moving it but they find it everytime.
    they killed a royal gramma, black combtooth blenny, 3 chromis, coral beauty. i thought it was something else at first but then i just got 7 chromis last week and ones already gone. all they do is chase them around the tank biting at them.

    With that said I would trade them in. I had a six line wrasse that killed every thing I would put in the tank. Well he had to go back to the fs.

    yep i have had that issue but mine took chunks out of my hand and would spit them into the tank. caused some very bloody hands at times. I would say get rid of them its your only hope at a calm tank.
