Dead Flame Angelfish

Dead Flame Angel

First let me say the Angel was going to be the last fish. I thought they are supposed to be a pretty hardy fish. You guys don't think that a clown could have stressed an Angel to death due to the Angel being territorial. Maybe I just got a bad one. I acclimated him for about an hour. I did not know that they sometimes don't take well to new tanks. I thought it was strange that he would not eat anything I offered. I want another wrasse and I don't want the Clown to harass it. You think by now the cleanup crew has disposed of the Angels body?

If they haven't, I would dispose of it myself. I wouldn't want to chance anything rotting in my tank.

Unfortunately I can not get to it so hopefully they disposed of it.
Adam

 

Depends on the size of the cleanup crew.

 

Dead Angel

If you guys had the mean Clownfish would you remove him before adding a new fish or take another chance since they are supposed to be compatible with Wrasse and Dwarf Angels?
Adam

 

I would keep the clownfish.

 

Dead Angel

You don't think that a mean Clown can harass a Fairy Wrasse or Dwarf Angel to death?
Adam

 

I don't know about a fairy wrasse, but a dwarf angel should be able to hold its own. I would worry more about making sure that the angel was eating before I bought it.

 

Oscellaris Clowns and Sex

In the end I think I bought a bad Angel and a little harrassment from my clown did not help. If I remove my mean large female Oscellaris Clown out of my tank will the other small male become female and mean if he is the only clown in the tank or will he remain male and small?

If you have an established pair of mated ocellaris clowns, you don't want to split them up. If you are set on getting one clown out of there, I would remove both into their own, say, 20g tank. A mated pair of clowns is a really cool thing. Spendy too.
