clownfish aggression

I brought back one of my two clowns because he is mean to my smaller one? My smaller one started hosting my nem, than this clown hat decided he wanted to and now won’t let the little guy near it. As much as I like Mr. Frostbite I think I like Mr. Blackie better. I was thinking about turning...

Hi, I have these two mai tai clownfish and what is going on is that my tank passed through a wipe out of ich/velvet (I’m not sure to be honest) and all my fish end up dying so I just left the tank empty for 7 weeks the fallow period and just two weeks ago I bought these two clownfish (they...

So I have a 45 gallon reef aquarium. My water parameters are all good with low nitrates and phos. Anyway I have had a bonded pair of clownfish for the past 5 months. One is a large 2” female Perculia Clownfish and the other is a smaller 1.5” occilaris clownfish (excuse my spelling). They have...

Hi all, I have a pair of midnight and Wyoming white clownfish that laid eggs before until recently I moved them into the display tank and they stopped. I also notice there is some aggression problem going on. Any idea what’s going on? The female is 3 inch and male is 2.75 inch. Thanks!

in my 14 gallon bio cube that I have had for over 3 years, with the ocellaris clowns who have lived together for 3 years in peace. However lately they have been severely attacking eachother. The female has bitten off almost all of the males back take and a lot of his fins. It is really bad and...

**I dont know alot about salt water tanks or fish. I just help my mother who just started a saltwater tank get answers for stuff her fish do that worry her** So my moms tank has been doing well for a while. The only recent change is that she changed the main direction of the pump that creates...

I have a pair of ocellaris clowns, one female one male. The female is neurotic but has calmed down significantly since adding a buddy. She’ll still chase him and act like she’s going to bite him (never hurts him) and recently he’s been taking shelter under my gorgonian. Unfortunately for the...

Hi guys, I have two ocellaris clownfish. One black/white and regular one. Black is smaller and always being attacked and trapped in the corner.I have never seen him vibrate. The aggressor sometimes vibrates. From what I have read the black one should eventually start submitting and the...

Hi, I’ve had a crazy butt ocellaris for about three or four months now. She was in a QT tank for half her life (about a year) and developed some intense aggression. I bought her from her last owner for $30 at about 2 years old. She attacks me regularly as well as other fish and even new rocks...

So I have an absolutely crazy clownfish, who bites/slaps/headbutts literally anything that comes into her tank, whether it be me, new corals, rocks, equipment, and especially fish. Needless to say this is currently a one-fish tank. Really want to add another clownfish and definitely clean up...

I have a 80 gallon reef up and running and I have 1 Gladiator clown, 1 firefish, 1 6 line wrasse, 3 chromis and a cleaner shrimp...pretty empty...and various inverts and corals. A friend of mine has 2 Galaxy clowns in his 70 that he wants to get rid of. They have been in his tank as the only...

I have had a year and a half old ocellaris clownfish for about three months now. She was given up at my LFS by an employee for being really aggressive. She was originally in a completely empty QT tank where she was supposed to help other fish become more confident, but when I got her I put her...

Hi all I'm aware that clownfish are weird creatures, but this is concerning me a little. I have this pair of Ocellaris for over a year, they were always goofy but never agressive to one another or any tankmate. Since this morning both of them are swimming histerically against the glass...

I just purchased a pair of lightning maroon clowns from the local LFS and they seemed fine together there in the tank and fine for the first 24 hours after introducing them to the quarantine tank. Now the larger one is randomly chasing the smaller one around the tank nipping at it. One is...
