Ok so my larger cardinal fish is very territorial i guess. it killed one my two other cardinals and chases the other cardinal fish around the tank... is this normal behavior? he leaves the clownfish alone though.
thanks

what kind of cardinals? bangaii's will not tolerate each other unless they are a bonded pair. pj's are better in groups.
its a 60 gallon cube, not many fish 2 picasso clowns, 2 Banggais, and a diamond goby that lives under the rocks with his pistol shrimp. i try not to over do it
The two you have left are now probably a bonded pair, that's why the third one disappeared. Unless you have a very large tank, the pair will probably kill the new ones you put in, so I would just take them back.I keep reading that Bangaii cardinals are great, peaceful community fish. I have two (third one disappeared a while back) along with other community fish, and they have been doing well and growing. Yet, I decided to add two more young bangaiis and all h*** broke loose. The two older fish are following and confronting them and making aggressive ‘shaking’ movements. I had no idea they are so aggressive.
My question is, what are the chances they will get used to each other, if so how long do I give it, or should I just take them back now? Thanks
