Hey all.. I've got a 29 gallon reef, established for about 1 year now. I have one maroon clownfish, one neon goby, and a (false) lemonpeel angel in the tank.
I added the angel about a month ago.. as of late his has become quite dominant, holding the maroon down into a corner. I don't understand this, since the maroon is the same size, if not a little bigger, and quite evil.. he could tear that angel up if he wanted to.
I've had the clown for about 2 years, he was quite sick when I got him but with lots of treatments he recovered and has been healthy since, so I'm pretty attached to him despite his constant attacks on my hand if I'm working in the tank.
What are my options here? Should I get rid of the angel? Is there another fish I can add that would break things up / distract the angel?
A larger tank is not an option at the moment.
I like peaceful tanks, and in fact torn down my cichlid tank due to their aggressive 'kill each other' nature. It's not a relaxing scene at all. Thanks for any advice.
