That fish was the first saltwater fish I have ever wanted and it just didn’t seem to work out. At least puffers are easy to catch in the tank Sucks I know just had to do the same thing was pretty tough tring to explain that to my 4 year old daughter who was crying all the way to the lfs.
#Maroon clownfish upgrade
time to rehome the puffer, unless you want to upgrade to a big tank and even then who knows if that will work. Sorry but there is no magic cure for an aggressive fish. Just a word of caution if that puffer and clown work out there differences before the puffer kills the clown you surely won't be able to add any more fish because those two will own the tank.Īs for advise you clearly all ready know what you have to do. Seems crazy that little puffer would be that aggressive towards a maroon clown. I had a maroon clown in that tank as well and man did he hold his own, even became the boss of that tank. I was young and dumb so I I completely over stocked my tanks with triggers, groupers, eel, puffers, lion fish. When I was younger I used to keep aggressive fowlr tanks. Weird how the clownfish is getting bullied. In the meantime, I would check around to see if someone would be willing to hold your clownfish until the new tank is fully cycled. I'm thinking maybe something like a 75 gallon or larger. Since you are "desperate for a solution", a much larger tank with extensive rock work might allow the two to live in the same tank. Still some people like providing homes to blemished fish. But I imagine that the damaged tail will not completely grow back. I really don't want to see a pic of the new injuries. I don't see a good solution for you, and it seems unfair to keep the clownfish in a dangerous environment. However, I suspect that your 30 gallon tank is a contributing factor. I know that Live Aquaria has both of these fish listed with a 30 gallon minimum tank size. Maybe the clownfish is exhibiting a behavior that is triggering the nipping. It could be because it is more comfortable in its new environment. Fish can suddenly exhibit behaviors for various reasons. More feeding won't likely solve the problem. I don't believe the nipping behavior is entirely due to hunger.
