Past couple of days I noticed my chromis and clown fish started to what I call 'bully' my mandarin, tail whipping and just very odd interest as he goes about his business eating...
I tried to get few videos to show this unusual behaviour towards him as to me... This is weird

I think last video shows both

That mandarin is poking around looking for pods and other live food items that are close/on the substrate. The midwater fish are trying to steal its food when, imo.

I have noticed this from time to time from all my Tank inhabitants with my mandarin. It has just been an off and on thing for me. I can say 100% the heavier I feed the tank the less aggressive other inhabitants are with my mandarin.

Why both clown and chromis bullying? Either one or the other... This makes it weird, I possibly over feed so food is not a problem

I have so much food to provide, live and frozen.. pellets, I removed a blue sapphire damsel about 2 weeks ago.. that was agressive
