Once you guys have imprisoned your bad behaving inhabitant do you release it back to the display at any point? Do you feel they've "learned their lesson?"

I did that once, and the bad behavior resurfaced. Back to the fuge the tomato clown went. It had plenty of room and food there, though.

This is what usually happens. Best to just re-home the bad behaving inhabitant. Let it be someone else's problem. :xd:

That's kind of unfortunate. I have 2 fish in there currently. An angel started to get the munches for my acans after months and months of being a nice fella. Then recently my small mimic tang decided to get an attitude is bullying the crap out of everyone else.

I was thinking about letting the angel back in the display. Not sure if I should.

I would not let the angel back into the display. I have been there and done that and paid for it. :(

Still deciding what to do about my HT that's in there right now. I hate to have to do it, but I think I may have to rehome him to someone with larger tankmates. He was put in early in my stocklist because they're suppose to be shy & timid, but he didn't take new to the DT very well and I like to start them out younger. He was on the small side when I got him as well (can only find HTs so small,) but have had him a year and he's grown quite a lot. I definitely don't want to release him back into the DT only to find I have to pull him out again - that was no fun lol.
