Selling, purchasing and trading on 3Reef is for the benefit its members only. The sole obligation of the Market Place forum is to provide a place for contributing members to enjoy the benefits of membership and participation by allowing hobbyists to sell and buy personal items to and from other hobbyists.

To maintain these benefits, and to prevent the use of the Market Place by non-sponsoring commercial entities, we have imposed the following rules for accessing and using the Market Place forums:

1) Members must have been a 3Reef member for no less than 30 days;

2) Members must have a minimum post count of 50;

3) Post padding (i.e. "nice tank," "I agree," "+1") in order to meet the Market Place posting requirements is not permitted. The moderators and administrator reserve the right to delete any post from any member that they deem has been posted solely for the purpose of accessing the Market Place;

4) By using the 3Reef Market Place, you assume all risk and liability associated with any sale, purchase or trade made therein. 3reef will not and cannot act as a mediator of Market Place transactions. If it is deemed that a member is abusing the Market Place, that member should be reported to the moderators and administrator so that an investigation can be conducted;

5) Commercial sellers are not permitted to use the Market Place. This includes retailers, wholesalers, or basement businesses. Sponsors are permitted to offer items for sale in their sponsor forum and in the Wanted section of the Market Place only. Any and all commercial sellers are encouraged to become a sponsor of 3Reef by contacting the administrator via the following link: 3reef Advertising. Commercial entities who hide their identity with the intent to offer items for sale may result in their removal from the site.

If any contributing member is offered items for sale via Private Message by commercial entities who are not sponsors or by members who do not meet the Market Place requirements, we ask that these messages please be reported to the moderators and administrators.

Please remember that the purpose of 3Reef is to allow individuals with a collective interest to exchange views and opinions and is primarily focused on a desire to help those new to the hobby to acquire quality information in order to progress through the hobby with minimal disappointments. Your first 50 posts would be best served targeted towards helping these individuals.

If I may recommend something. Have you tried moving your scape around right before you add a fish? The Clown Fish may think of it as new territory and will have to find its own area again. Then, maybe the new additions may find the time to find their area. You could also take the Clown Fish out first and put him in a separate tank for a day or two and add the fish in that time.

 

+1; you can try taking it out and putting it in a QT tank for a few days while your new fish get acclimated. Change the scape up a bit as well. That way, it doesn't feel like it owns the tank if other fish are already established when it's added.

With a tank that size, the clowns should be one of the last to go in, and I think the Clarki may be one of the more territorial clowns as they mature. But, I think it's worth a shot if you want to try and keep it.

Good luck.

 

Only thing that stopped my false perc from bullying everything in my 46bf was an extra 80 gallons of swimming room. Honestly I think you have the right idea. Great fish, but your are right about it thinking the whole tank is his.

 

I tried changing the rock work up with the clown fish out of the tank in a bucket, but after putting him back in the tank he decided the whole thing was his pretty quickly. The wife wolnt let me have a QT tank (were a little limited on space in the apartment) so keeping him out for a few days is not very doable. I had thought about getting rid of the more docile fish then getting a snowflake moray but the wife didn't like that idea lol. At this point it seems like the best solution is getting him out of the tank.

 

Moved to--------Tropical Fish.

Is this your tank or your wife's tank?

If it's not hers tell her to get her own tank and to do a little research prior to purchasing live stock.

Good Luck to you/yours and the fish.
