I have an orchid(dottyback) an a clown in Hypo.
They have been there for about 6 weeks, I noticed the orchid had 2 spots reappear, so they'll be there for a while long probably 8 weeks.
my concern is the orchid wants to chum with Nemo(un-original I know)and has been getting nipped especially on the tail.
I added a couple pieces of PVC for structure.I'm hoping that and the change of scenery is enough to offset the situation.
The tank is 20 gal., other than the PVC I added, it is bare.
I don't have another tank set up , so I can't split them up.
advice/suggestions please.
Thanks in advance!

Same thing happening with my fish, they are in hypo, 30 gallon but 10 fish. Tempers flare in small spaces, boit enough places to hide. I'm just not sure whose doing the nipping in my tank.

That's a good idea, will that bother the water flow?
I am going to look into some sort of divider.
thanks

If you have enough flow it shouldn't interfere too much, get the largest squares possible that your fish can't get through.
