Bullying of newcomer
I have a tank consisting of 3 common clownfish. And just yesterday I added a maroon clown into the tank.
The bigger of the 3 common clownfish keeps chasing it, forcing it to retreat to one corner, unable to come out to feed or swim around. what can I do to stop the bullying? will separating the bigger common clownfish for a period of time help? |

Another way is to trap the maroon in a transparent tank where the common clown can c but cannot touch. Untill such extend where by u notice they no longer interested in the maroon Liao then u release it.

Each clownfish need certain swimming area in order to stop the bully. |
