Banner fish question

[Mattl22]

I stupidly bought 4 tiny banner fish I guess a yr ago because they looked so cool swimming together well long story short 3 died with in few days a year later the one that made it has gotten really big and just tonight he was chasing all my anthais really aggressively really hard fast bursts trying to nip them I guess not sure anyone have experience with them getting aggressive like this?
Will have to catch if it continues almost chased a few right out the water

You may have to catch it and give it a time out for a few days so it's the newbie again or try feeding more. I fed heavily and it does curtail the aggression in my tank ......just watch the water quality.

Are you referring to the Heniochus?

 

[MIKE NY]

Yes ....I'm don't remember if he has the Acuminatus or the Hawaiian Diphreutes....

It's funny because i had bought 4 myself and sold them. They're nice when they're small and act as cleaner fish but they grow very fast. He will have to take it out or get a huuuge tank.Good luck

It's in a 220 atm and if it was only lg fish prob be fine but I also have a clown tang 2 lg rabbit fish lg hippo tang and an emperor angel

Thankfully Mike I think u are right the bigger fish freak if they don't get a few good meals a day I think I ran out of mysis for few days they where just getting pellets once I started giving them s good feed mysis every day again things seem to calm down

Would love to catch the banner and 1 the rabbit fish but tried for weeks on the rabbit last yr gave up they r really cautious and would never swim into container enough for me to scoop out
Now both the banner and rabbit r too big for the pretzel keg I use gonna have to come up with new plan
