Ok... so i've got a 55... Its been up for two years now and I've got a flame thats been in there for 1.5 years of that time. Over time however, i've had a fish die here and there so I'll try to replace them... I've added a falco hawk ... no problem... neon dotty back... no problem...
But he's gotten so aggressive that anything new in the tank gets put in a corner. I've tried to disassemble the live rock for a few days and then built it up again in a different configuration... and he's still so freakin territorial that I think he's gonna cost me a second foxface. This one was doing well at first, didnt seem scared at all. But after a few days he was pinned in a cave and he's been there ever since. Every now and then he'll try to come out but immediately gets pounced on.
Now I make sure to put some sinking pellets in front of him to eat, but is there anything that I can do to help the little guy? Is he doomed to die?
I'd catch the flame but as soon as the top gets opened he hides in the rocks.
