you could remove one fish from your tank? I am regretting my Red Hawkfish. He is a loon and just doesn't fit in with my other fish. My tank is so chill and he just gets the group crazed!

Yup. I had a Clarkie in my tank that did the same. When I put it in, it was the smallest of my clowns. I thought this socialization would keep things calm and establish a pecking order. It did for a while. Fast forward three years and he was 4 inches long and the bully of the block! He chased all of the other fish relentlessly and chased a yellow tang, yellow wrasse and blenny completely out of the tank; I found them petrified on the floor. I finally decided it was time for him to go. I did have to break up a cave in the rocks to catch him, but he's out and the tank is Camelot once again. My fish store gave me $30 store credit for it and plans to try to breed it (her). If they said they wanted it for sushi and they wouldn't give me a dime, I still would have handed it over.

So I spent five hours yesterday on my tank. I was able to remove my hawkfish and two blue dart fish. My LFS gave me credit for future purchases. Cleaned the glass, removed a bunch of empty snail shells (thanks to Albert, our Valentini puffer), rearranged a few rocks (I like to mix it up every now and again so nobody gets too territorial), and did a 20% water change. Woke up to a crystal clear tank, perfect water conditions, and a much more "chill" tank. #feelingaccomplished
