Will a large scissor tail dart fish hurt my small clownfish?

[Leon Gorani]

I just bought a pair of longfin mocha clownfish and they are very small, not even an inch I don’t think. My scissor tail blenny has been in this tank for two months almost and he is very big, maybe 3-4 inches long, I bought him almost fully grown. Would he be aggressive towards the new clownfish? Or will he be okay with them since the dartfish/blenny is a peaceful fish? I have my clownfish in a Tanklimate acclimation box and the dartfish is looking at them for sure. I assume he won’t hurt them since he is peaceful but I don’t want to lose my expensive clownfish lol. Any ideas? How long should I leave the clownfish in the acclimation box for?

Hahaha the dartfish? I have a screen top on mine, the first day I had him in the tank he almost jumped, he was crazy but now he’s cool.

I have had my scissor tail for over a year and have never seen it even look at another fish in a naughty way.

Usually a very timid, non aggressive fish. Would be very surprised if he caused any problem with the clowns.

I feel like your more likely to have the clowns be aggressive towards it than vice versa...

Agreed. My snowflake Occ was a complete jerk to my scissortail dartfish when I had them.
