bully clarkii's

hi i have two clarkii's that are about 4 inches, they are bullies and i think i need to move them. i have bought 2 flame angels, one lemon peel, two tangs and they all died within 1to2 weeks, at first i didnt know why but then i figured out they all have similar body types as my clarkii's.(slow learner) anyway i have purchased other fish during this time (fire fish, wrassee damsels) and they are doing fine. i have set up a 29 gallon tank in the basement to move them into, would this be advisable. thanks
p s they don't seem to bother the other fish and they sleep at night next to my fox face rabbit fish. also my tank is a 90 gallon reef tank.

 

What size tank do you have now? I would move them into the 29 gallon, as they are known to be one of the most aggressive and territorial Clownfish, next to Maroons. If you plan on adding any other fish to the 29 gallon, I would do that first.

 

I would move them if they've been responsible for that many fish deaths. Plus in a 90 gallon, you have the potential to add a lot of beautiful fish and it sounds like the clarkiis would limit any additions.

 

Whoops. Didn't realize you said the tank size.

 

yea thats what im thinking too but i dont want them to die. i guess im asking is it safe to move them to a small er tank?

 

I would say yes, what other stock do you have in the 29?

 

i only have a few pounds of live rock in the 29 ga tank. i just set it up for this purpose but then i thought i better ask someone before i move them, im thinking just a heater a protein skimmer and the rock, not even sand.
