help with my leopard

[elabar]

In the past few weeks my clowns have decided that they wanted to pick on my leopard. Since then he has started to swim at the top of my tank trying to jump. Do you think he is just trying to get away or could he be sick. I am about to sell off the clowns as I don't like them picking on other fish. I have had the leopard for about 6 months and never had an issue. Any thoughts

Take the leopard out of the tank, dry it and give it some milk and zebra meat. Should be OK soon
No seriously... A leopard what? Moray eel, wrasse, blenny, goby?

LOL............................... sorry i had to

Wrass e. I'm on my phone and the auto correct does not like that word.

Ok, that's weird. The leopard wrasse must be really small? Are the clowns A.ocellaris, or something more aggressive, like A.frenatus?
Could it be that your clowns are guarding their fry or planning to lay eggs or something like that?
Some clownfish species do get more and more aggressive as they get older, but attacking a wrasse?

Clowns, once sexually mature (depending on species) want to control 25-30 gallons of tank space. If your tank is small, you have a choice: clowns or the leopard wrasse

ID pull them. a well adjusted leopard is more of a feat that mature clowns.

They are black and white clowns, I have had them for two years now. The tank is a 75 gallon and they always hang out under my overflow box, never touching one of my 5 RTBA's, but they will go all the way across the tank after my leopard. They do not mind my christmas wrasse, they treat him like is one of them. But the clowns will be going away as the leopard has piroity of the clowns without a question.

 

[Rapide]

So it's probably true percula (A.percula)?
The false percula (A.ocellaris) are not as aggressive, if at all...
I'd let the clowns go too You should have ko problem finding then a new home...

do you think its to late for my leopard? This morning I turned the light on in my room and there he was at the top of the tank swimming around with his head out of the water, flopping around some times. In the past he has never been out, he always would come out of the sand 15-30 mins after the lights in my tank turn on. I turn my lights off so they will not turn on today to give them a day of darkness to see if that helps him at all.

Seems like the clowns attacked the leopard allot. I have a par that is also aggresive.
