I picked up two aquacultured Tomatoes about 1 1/2" long. I added them to my 150 and they were attached at the hip for about a week. One of them discovered my RBTA and made it his home. This lasted about 3 days and then the other wanted in.

War broke out!

They have been fighting ever since, about 36 hours. The first clown to discover it (we'll call him the bully) will not let the other one near it. The other is looking quite beat up, so I decided to pull one out. I was able to get the "bully" out and put him in my frag tank.

Do you think if I leave him in there for a while and let the other get comfy in the nem, I can release the bully back into the tank? I've paired percs, clarkiis, and GSMs in the past without issues. I guess my luck has run out.

By the way, these are the only clowns in the tank.

They are very small. They are 1 1/2" from lip to tail and that may be pushing it.

I have never seen Tomatos sold smaller anywhere.
