some advice please. I have two small reef tanks. One i have had set up for a few years (20 gal) which includes a pajama cardinalfish, firefish and common clown. the 2nd tank, which i bought used but had been going for a few years, it came with a cleaner shrimp and bicolour benny. I decided to add two snowflake clowns to the 29 gal. One of the added clowns disappeared on me, i guess it died and got eaten as i can't find a body. so now i'm left with one small clown who i'm a bit concerned about. I wonder if the bicolour Benny was picking on the clowns, the young clown left didn't eat this morning, swimming around but not eating. I think acting a bit stressed. So i think i am going to move the young clown to my other tank with the other clown. With the new clown being so young, this i hope should work. Would it then be a good idea to move the cardinalfish to the other tank with the benny. As i don't want to overcrowd the 20 gal. I do want to add one or two more fish to the 29. Maybe add fish that the benny wouldn't bother. Fish more laid back, the clowns may have been too active. Any advice. I really don't want to lose the young clown. i think i do have to move the young clown.

moved the young clownfish and no aggresion from the mature clown. the younger one clamer. the mature clown being very active. So this seems to be working out. I'm wondering if its going to be possible to add another fish or two to the 29 with the benny. Love the Benny as he/she has personilty plus but maybe has been the lone fish in that tank too long to add another. Maybe just fill the tank with more coral instead of fish.
