Fish aggression

[deaclauderdale]

Picked up 2 stunning Sunburst Anthias and my Starry Blenny and 1 of my Banghai cardinals are being mean to one of them. They damaged a bit of his tail and removed a few scales from his side and yet they do not trouble the other one [emoji35]

Anyway to stop this before it gets out of hand?

Fish are finicky. Even when you introduce 2 of the same species, your current occupants may choose to pick on just one of them. Use of an acclimation box for all new arrivals will help to alleviate the problem. The most passive fish can become aggressive when their territory is encroached upon. Since you have two fish picking on one, segregate hwr into an acclimation box or she may not eat.
