So, I bought this running 75g system a short time ago. Maybe 2 months back. It had 2 blue damsels and a clown. Ive added a yellow tang and flame angel.
One of the damsels has dug iut a hole under a rock which is fine with me. The other damsel hangs out in the back corner of the tank behind the heater. The agressive one will taunt the hiding one. It also chases the hiding one. Kinda sad really. This just started in about the last week to 2 weeks. I thought he would calm down but he hasnt.
Whats cool though, is the other fish will hang out near or on the side of the tank with the scared damsel. If the mean one comes over, they will push uim away and protect the scared damsel. Thats nice but I dont like aggressive fish in the system. They need to get along.
Anyone know a reason for this change in him? Its not like they are new to each other. So I want to remove it and take him to my LFS. I might try the food in the net trick and hope to get lucky.
Oh, hes also aggressive to me when trying to work in the tank. He nips my hand and arm and will also attack the small net when I need to use it. I use the net to block the clown when I am working because he likes to hit me too, and he hits much harder. The damsel doesn't bother me, but he is mean.
