Biting the aquarist's hand isn't actually bullying...My female Snowflake Clownfish. She bites the crap out of my hand whenever she has the chance. smh
Bragging huh? Seriously tho, that’s impressive, niceI had a bully for a short time...
The inhabitants of my 100-gallon reef tank are:
- a spawning pair of Red Sea Clownfish (plus 3 of their babies now)
- a spawning pair of Marine Betta
- a spawning pair of Mandarins
- a spawning pair of Royal Gramma
- a pair of Maldive Regal Angels
...truncated post....
Bullies in tank are put into time out
A.k.a. Sump
55g with the clown trigger and a Sohal? That's way too small a tank for either one of those yikes.I had a serial killer in my 150G DT. When I discovered that it was my Clown Trigger I moved it to a 55G where it remained solitary for 2 years. Meanwhile I put a Sohal Tang in my display and after about a year, it started to terrorize the community consisting of a Hippo Tang, Yellow Tang, Blonde Naso, Chocolate, and Sailfin Tang. So I decided to move it to the 55G with the Clown Trigger and to my surprise after 4 months it has worked out. Whenever the Trigger tries to attack the Tang, the Tang is too fast and swims circles around the Trigger leaving it confused so for now they seem to be evenly matched.
We've all had those fish that are just mean! I call them BULLY FISH! I understand it's in the nature of fish to protect territory and stuff like that but sometimes a fish is just a big bully! Sometimes they not only bully other fish but they bully YOU! HA! Today let's talk about the fish that have been a menace to your other tank inhabitants and which ones you would stay clear of!
What fish have you had bad luck with when it comes to being a bully in the tank?
What fish would you caution people to stay away from?
