So I come home today and find both of my clown fish looking "ratty". Both of their fins we're tore up. I watch for a little while and see my 6 line chasing them and made one of the clowns so stressed that he hid in the rocks....I've NEVER seen him hide. But that wasn't good enough for the wrasse. He went into the rock where the clown was hiding and started bullying him in there!!!!
So of course my first instinct was to tap on the glass and fuss at the 6 line. Well when that didn't work I started making my phone calls. I talked to Al and he told me to catch the fish and take him back to the LFS. Oh good lord here we go. Catch this little fast fish!!!!! Are you crazy!!!! But I thought about it and saw that it was my only option. LUCKILY I had no problem catching him. I took all my smaller pieces of rock out leaving my big pieces in. Within 3 mins I had him captured. I drove him back to the FS and come back home to a mess to clean up and put back together.
I'm uploading pics now.
I've now got everything back in the tank and both clown fish are a little stressed but I think they'll be just fine. Their both swimming around, not hiding so I guess that's good. I also went ahead and did a WC. I hate the way my rocks look. But my tank is SOOO full of water I don't even think I could put my arm in there without it overflowing. So I guess I'll fool with it another day, and who knows this arrangement might grow on me.
