Keen to get some thoughts if my clownfish is Damien incarnate.
The tank is a 6 month old 15g AIO.
We started off with two ocellaris, the larger of two after a few months turned very quickly and killed the smaller.
I've since added a royal dottyback (gramma's quite expensive down my way) whilst they've gotten on the clown is still the boss.
Noticed a chunk missing from the dottybacks tail the other day, the clown lip-locked it today at feeding time (maybe 2-3 months being together).
Based on the above is the clown likely to be an butt to anything that's added moving forward?
I'd love to add a third fish, a smaller bottom dweller like a goby but worry the clown will dominate anything that's shy.
Any suggestions on a reef safe tankmate? Half thinking a falco hawk or something that could stick up for itself?
Cheers
