Help with clown

RyanMcLaughlin · 01/06/2009, 06:47 PM

So my female clow recently attacked my little clown pretty severely and im wondering what i can do to prevent her from doing that. She has always been aggressive towards him but not this bad.
Thanks,
Ryan

What species clown?

She would do it kind of alot but he never had torn fins or anything. I fed a mix of thera a and mysis once a day and they would pick at the algae alot during the day. BW ocellaris.

it's not going to stop. You can't control the fish and prevent them from attacking another in the tank unless they're removed.

clowns can/will be vicious sometimes.

Well I moved him to the fuge once i could get him earlier and found him dead. What would possess her to suddenly kill him?
