New Tomato Clown is EVIL !!!

[frankandmaura]

If you still want to replace it, how about some green cromis? They are usually fairly cheap and are not aggresive.

I have a Tomato Clown.

It was the first fish in the tank and I still want to keep him despite his being a bit pushy. There will always be a King of the tank in any community.

I guess some TC's may be overly agressive and best not mixed with very timid fishes...

I moved everything around and that really helped but seems like when adding agressive fish that they should be last into the tank as that king already gets the thrown and the TC will be less likey to be the bully.

My problem is no longer the TC but a Blue damsels that wont let me get anywhere near the eft side of my tank without contantly biting me which doesnt hurt just still makes me jump when it sneeks up on me and my new clam is on the side so i have been doing a lof of work on that side latey

How did the pink tail trigger do in the reef tank and what other fish did you have with it. One of the many ideas I've had for stocking my tank is an "aggressive" reef, with one of the potentially reef safe triggers, a moray (snowflake or zebra), and maybe a couple clowns....

Spoke too soon ...

Suspect my TClown in death of Blood Shrimp ($$$)

Emerald Crab is another suspect too. Hell the Brittle star is not a total innocent.

Emerald crab definitely pulled my porcelain crab to pieces ($$)

OUCH !! Never witnessed the Tclown going after any of the Inverts in my tank

You want to talk about evil? This guy WAS in a bigger tank but since it wasn't enough that much of WHOOOOOLE reef was already his, he alienated all his BIGGER tank mates and so I stuck him in my 8 gallon nano. Very hardy but MEAN!
