I know some people say clarkii's are incredably agressive but i have one and he's fine. So to anyone who didnt get a clarkii cause there agressive. Rethink.

They get alot more aggressive when paired up, and even more so when spawning.

Do you have yours in your 6 gallon?? If so, I am willing to bet that in time it is going to become aggressive, IMO, that tank is way too small for a Clarkii.

I have a pair of Clarkii's, the female can get a little agressive but she usually behaves. I don't have a many fish in my tank though. If you give them some space they are usually ok

I have a pair of Clarkii and they are simply adorable. They do get aggressive but its not stop entertainment as they try to host in everything from bubble coral to green star polyps.

Mine was TERRIBLY agressive, paired up and took up my bubble tip anemone, she'd attack my hand, the algae cleaner and ALL my fish....needless to say they found a new home.

Not much more to say.

Others have told you that keeping a Clarkii in a 6 gallon is a bad idea, and having an anemone in there is even worse. There isn't a hosting anemone that won't outgrow that tank is a short amount of time.
