I have 2 Oscellaris Clowns one large female and one small male and was thinking of taking out the large Female. I am hoping the BiColor Blenny and Flame Angel start eating the frozen food. I have seen the Clown chase the Blenny. The Blenny and Angel both just pick at the rock so they are eating something. Would anyone else remove the clownfish to take a chance that the Angel and Blenny will be more comfortable and eat? I could get a new smaller clownfish and hope for the best. I might wait a week though since the Blenny and Angel are new and see if they eventually start to eat. I might get some live brine tomorrow and see if that helps. Keep the mean clown or not? I don't know how long the other fish can live without me seeing them eat frozen. The blenny looks a little thin and has verticle white stripes that come and go.
Thanks,
Adam

Flame Angel

I am gonna wait a week and see if the Flame and Blenny start to eat prepared foods. All types of Frozen I have tried and dried seaweed and has not ate it yet.

Try feeding at both ends of the tank simultaneously. The clownfish can't be both places at once. When I'm spot-feeding corals, I put a big chunk in one end of the tank to give the clownfish something to work on while I feed the corals. Otherwise the little snot will take the food right out of the coral tentacles.
