I upgraded my 54 g to a 90g plus a sump. Tank is running good, parameters are good too.
Due to a leak and then a self caused heat / cool issue only one of my original fish survived the move (very sad about this still but I digress).
Along with the cardinal I added 2 tiny clowns, a fox face, a file fish and cleaner wrasse. There is a cleaner shrimp and a few crabs and snails.
The cardinal seems to bully the file fish and fox face. I’ve seen it head butt and bite the file fish. It will also try to get in the way of the fox face but clearly it is mindful of the foxface’s poisonous top fin.
Is this common from cardinals? Is there anything I can do about it? I don’t see any cuts or sores but I also don’t like the behaviour.
