Hey All - So I bought a small pair of clowns (Black Storm / Mocha Storm) and ALL the other fish hate them.
I have a 60 cube with a very small Hippo, a Green Chromis, and a Royal Gamma. So not a lot of live stock. The gamma, hippo tang, and chromis are all about the same size and the clowns are much smaller (like minnow small).
The Gamma is a jerk to all the fish but he's literally all bark and no bite. The blue tang and chromis appear to be best friends and always swim side by side, and where the gamma just opens his mouth and does his jerk thing the tang and chromis are actually nipping at these clowns.
It's only been about 2 days, but I really don't want these babies to die.
I'm probably going to try and catch the Chromis, but he's the fastest fish alive and reallllllly do not want to pull my whole reef apart just to catch this guy. Feeding seems to get him to calm down for about 30 min to an hour which isn't a great solution. The Tang seems to be much less aggressive.
Any ideas? Rather not ditch 2 fish for 2 fish and these clowns I've been wanting since I stood this 60gal up.
