Aggressive clown friends

[NkSde]

So, my clowns have gotten quite territorial. Not unexpected as research shows but this does raise an issue that they are already in the tank and happy.

i tried to introduce a mandarin who did well, until he landed on coral and marilns rock.

with that in mind I want more fish.
2 clowns and a firefish in a 20 is fine but I have nothing in my high column.

Recently began thinking about some mollys maybe a small harem 1 male 2 females. Or maybe a wrasse.

what have y’all successfully introduced w aggressive clowns?

Chaulk bass are way cool… under rated in my opinion and would do well

They do look interesting, lfs seems pretty on it with fish orders too may be attainable.

cardinals look interesting too w their big ol eyes

just worry they’ll try to setup their orbit lock on coral and marlins tower

I do have an empty breeder box I wonder of a slow introduction with that may help.

Good luck with that. Clowns once they start getting aggressive they are a menace.

I have two Damsels that mine bully but they are fine and thriving. The one damsel stays away from everyone and the other is back and forth messing with the clowns

I love cardinal fish, and I think they are a great pick. However if you want a fish higher in the tank mine definitely do not do that. I would still recommend them, if you want higher in the tank stack your rock higher.


The mollies would sit higher, although I don't know how well they would fare.

So, lost my firefish to an intake.
Planning a revamp if the whole build now whole livestock is minimal.

I think the new scape and layout might give me opportunity to introduce some new guys on even ground.

Gotta find a silver lining in each loss.

Really! You are already having issues yet want to add another 3 fish.
So 7 fish in a 20g with 2 already territorial fish, that’s just irresponsible.

considering the issue is a behavioral problem of a singular inhabitant it’s not the end of the line for livestock in an ecosystem.

Not sure I understand why aggression
would an end all to adding livestock.
