I have 11 fish in my 158.5 gallon tank. 3 are clowns. 1 Darwin, 1 Picasso and a Gladiator. All 3 have no interest in an anemone in the middle of the tank with mild flow. The Darwin and Picasso are going to pair up, they got big fast , but I think the Picasso is the female, very aggressive now. My gladiator clown I think is not the best fish for my tank. Very cool, but not the strongest swimmer with all the flow in the tank. I removed the Gladiator last week and put him in my hospital tank. Light flow and no Bullies, just him, a snail and a blue leg hermit. I put him back in the main tank yesterday because I don’t care for my hospital tank like my main, and the Gladiator doesn’t seem to care for it either. Long story of different observations. Plus there’s three feedings a day in main tank versus 1 in the hospital because I’m away. The Gladiator is getting harassed a lot and I’m unsure if I should just put him back in the hospital tank for a a safe refuge without the high flow and harassment? Not sure if all this will add up to an early demise if he stays in the main.
