    I know right.

    Thanks! Yea one day I am going to get a better camera just for that purpose.

    She attacks the container everytime so it is any easy catch. I figured she would learn and avoid the container but the urge to attack is too strong.

    Corailline.... do you ever have aggression problems between your Clowns and yellow tail damsel? I'd like to put mine in the same tank but was under the belief (probably misplaced) that those don't do well together???

    Thanks!

    Hi GreyBeard,

    Initially no. The damsel attempted to pick on the clowns but they were large enough to stand their ground. But! the female clown became very aggressive and started to pick on the damsel. I went to open the lid to feed one am and the damsel shot out of the tank in terror. He now resides in the sump.

    And it is a small tank so prime real estate is not available. In larger tanks I never had a problem with the yellow tail damsel. Now the domino and the black and white stripped damsels were a different story.

    Not to hyjack but my yellowtail shows no aggression to my clown goby, rainsford goby, or kole tang. He one of my favorite fish all time due to temperament though since the tang has become friendly i dont see him much
