I don't get it. I've had 3 chromis in my tank for over 3 months now. the alpha is now picking the smaller ones off one at a time. he won't let them eat and pecks at them. I removed one of the defeated fish to the fuge last night, not sure he's going to make it. Now the big one is starting to pick on the 2nd biggest chromis in the tank. There are now only 2 left. it seems to be all food motivated. maybe that's my fault. I feed them everyday with a dropper filled with wet flake food so it sinks.
Anytime someone looks at the reef, the big chromis thinks it's feeding time and chases the other chromis.
is there anything I can do, or just that damsel aggression?
I really don't like fish, but wanted to see something swim in the display. So I got 7 of these guys. one by one they fall. the big one has grown so much, they all have, so I know they are healthy.
