Heya RC,
I have a 140g tank. I haven't added any fish for quite some time now, but I finally was able to come across a Flame Hawkfish and I had to grab it, I also added a juvenile Tomini Tang when I picked it up as well.
Last night I added them to the display and within about 10 minutes my female Ocerllaris clown went absolutely nuts on these 2 fish, especially the Tomini Tang, which she took chunks of it's fins out. I turned off the lights which did calm her down, I did get her and her mate in a net during the night and put them in my sump in the meantime. This clown was one of the first additions to this tank, and I have never seen her act like this when adding new livestock.
Would you advise putting this fish back in the display after some time? Or should I perhaps look at finding a new home for the pair? (I'd prefer keeping them together)
Thanks,
