All of my fish get along great and cause no issues. In a 32 gallon Fiji Cube I have a Pygmy Cherub, Bi color Blenny, Caramel Clown, and a Vanderbuilt Chromis. All are model citizens.
All of your fish get along? Inconceivable! :)

I have two purple tang. A perfect gentleman in one tank for over 5 years now and a pure devil in the second. Every individual specimen are so different.

This is the reason why his tantrums are tolerated. This frag came from another tank full with GHA. He cleaned it in less than five mins.

Royal Grammas. My royal gramma is bullying my clowns and my shrimp. Specifically my fire, cleaner, and Ocellaris clowns. But he only does it to my female clown, he tried to bite her but she just launches her tail or her head straight at him. it’s kind of scary. And he snips the antenna s off my shrimps. But doesn’t do a thing to my baby mandarin the size of a cerith snail
My royal gramma hasnt done anything like this but I heard dottybacks do and they look very similar

Yeah, he only does it I noticed when he refuses to eat. But since then I haven’t found him doing anything. He’s quite a model in the tank. Mine is definitely a royal gramma I know the difference between the two.
