My Clarkie is a bully

...and I truly believe that he is causing a lot of stress to the other tank inhabitants. So I have decided to trade him in for a tiny (but similar) fish.

After many fruitless efforts I started pulling rock out of the tank. I finally got the bugger out and off to the fish store he went.

All the fishes are now happy and relaxed. They are swimming around a lot more.

Here is a picture of my fearless 6 line wrasse.


I was trying to sneak up on the Clarkie but he knew I was after him. The wrasse on the other hand knows that I love him.

 

Yea some clowns tend to bully other fish. Back when i used to keep my porcupine puffer in the same tank as my cinnamon the puffer got bullied all the time even though he was bigger. I would see the cinnamon ram the puffer with his head and push the puffer out of the way. I was worried that the puffer might retaliate and kill the clown so i moved the puffer into a different tank.

 

Before I took my tank down and restarted from scratch I had a clarki. The clarki dominated every other fish in the tank, big or small... until... I gave him his very own bubble Tip Anemone. He backed off a lot after that. Mostly he hung out in the BTA and didn't bother anyone unless they came too close to his home... which he really only left to eat and retrieve food. Which is also neat as hell. I would drop in 1 thawed silver side and he would immediately swim out and snag it to bring back to the BTA. Very smart fish, Clarki's

 

Are you going to get another fish?

I haven't seen my Six Line in a week so I can only assume he is dead. Everything else is fine though.
