    Sooo I got two clowns, one black and one orange and the orange one is chasing and bullying the black clown round the tank. How can I make the paring faster and not have to take the clown out the tank?

    Yesterday, I added a flame angelfish to my 75 gal reef. I already had a kole yellow eye tang who has been a resident for about a month. The second I added the flame angel, the tang actively chased him around the tank. I added the flame angel at night after the lights had gone off, so I just let...

I came home tonight to find the larger Banggai Cardinalfish attacking the smaller one to the point where it shread the smaller one's tail caudal fin.

    I just added my first three green chromis about two weeks ago. After the first day two of the larger ones started attacking the smaller one and will not allow it to eat or near their little home around the live rock. I read online that one way to deal with this is to not keep such a small...

    So, recently I have been taken with lovely leopard wrasses I see at my LFS. I have decided that I will most likely take out my three Allen's damsels and replace them with three leopard wrasses. My concern is my canary wrasse. He was the first fish in the tank, and I have been advised against...
