Short version: I'm returning an agressive tomini, I really want one in the tank, what are my odds of getting a friendlier one if I try another?
Backstory:
I've recently aquired and gone through a bout of issues with a Tomini. And now that he's settling in, I'm seeing more and more agression. I've lost all love for this fish. He attacks both my algae blenny and copperband butterflyfish for sport, but especially when they are eating. The copperband is shy enough as it is, so that's the last thing he needs. I've been feeding very heavily to avoid food agression, but even with a tank full of food, he will take a break from eating to make sure others are not.
As bad as I wanted this fish, and as good a utilitarian fish as he seems to be... I had to pull him. The entire tank seems peaceful again, the cbbf for one isn't pacing, the clowns wander again, and the blenny hops from rock to rock.
