wtf? just happened?

i added a orange spotted goby to my reef where my Niger trigger is and he chased him all around and bit his tail!!!!

im so surprised since my firefish is there too and i never saw him do that....

what happened? ill try to take him out of the tank ASAP...

 

bump

 

maybe cause your firefish was added before your niger?

 

they were added at the same time.. maybe thats why? but i added two Black and white clowns with the goby and they are left alone and happy

 

ohh well my clown trigger attacked my cleaner wrasse and almost chopped his tail off

 

thats what he did... he cut a piece off his tail.. i want to take the goby out but cant find it. he is hidden.

do you guys agree with me taking him out and not putting him in again?

 

this was supposed to be an ASAP question.. kinda panicked and put it anywhere..

 

well i would just wait and see.

 

Maybe you should wait a couple days and see how it goes. It's probably just a territorial/dominance issue. But if it is getting worse instead of better, then you should remove him. But I would wait a little bit and see what happens.

Good luck!!

 

ok............. i just hope he doesnt kill him.. i thought he was going to eat him...:-/

so everyone agrees on letting them be for a while?
