How many fish is TOO MANY? 20? 40?

I have 2 rbta 3 pink bta's for 1 1/2 years my fish do not go anywhere need them. Most of the time the fish you find in an anemone were unhealty and floated into the anemone after they have died. This has happened once to a cbb.

I wanted to catch the Yellow Striped Clown but I don't have a clear plastic trap yet. I thought that I would hang a net in the tank. I put some food in it and hoped that the fish would get used to eating from it. It is the second night and the small pair of Perculas have taken up residents in the net and no other fish have gone into the pocket so far.

I had 12 green chromis in my 240 reef that I use to have for over a year together and no issues now I did try to add 6 more and they got flat wore out by the ones I already have and eventual had the original 12 I think hard to tell them apart lol.

I caught the Yellow Gold Striped Clown fish. I put a net over the Rose Anemone for a few days and the big clown went to its old home. Luckily, it was on the front glass. I tried to catch it when it was in the anemone but it was to leery and too fast so I waited until the end of the night and turn off all the lights except for the TV. The light of the TV was coming from a direction that only helped me. It was so easy to catch him then.

Now I have only the 4 perculas, the smaller pair and the larger. The smaller pair went into the Rose and one of the other pair keeps trying to kick the other two out. I am going to let them sort it all out. Although they gently skirmish, I don't think that any of them are under too much stress.

One hour one pair is in the Rose, and then the other pair is there. Then one of the smaller pair is in each anemone while the big pair go back to hanging out at the mushroom rock.

Go figure. The rest of the tank is calm.
