Interesting Clown Behavior

[worm5406]

So I always play with my clowns weather I, my hand, is in the tank doing maintenance, or just sitting watching outside the tank.

I always get nudged or swatted with the tail when I get too close to it's anemone, or even when spot feeding around it.

Sometimes when I see one get closer to me I start the "dance" you know that small shaking, with my hand. It will sometimes just run off or sit there looking at my hand strange.

Last night I was watching my cinnamon in my Ritteri. I was staring at it and it would look at me then roam around the anemone. I took my hand, shaped it like a beak, up to the glass and it would posture right at the edge of the anemone. I shook it, and it would do a flip around the anemone and come right back to the same spot. After a few times of this I noticed my OC's coming over to see what was going on. The cinnamon would really ruffle the anemone, showing me that "it is mine and you cant have it" stance.

Just thought it was kind of strange/interesting to watch.

Ill have to take some video.

Your cinnamons will eventually take out your oscellaris clowns. There might not be any aggression yet, but wait until they start to mature, the gloves will come off.

Maybe, but it's enjoyable at this time of the game.....

The cinimon clown that was in my store's tank for a while eventually started to kill any new fish that I put in with her. I had to move her to another tank to chill her out and discount her to sell off before she did more damage. After this past moths inventory count, I fond out she killed about ten firefish before I witnessed the brutal attacks (I though it was the flame hawk the week before and moved him to another tank instead)

When I purchase a pet/fish I don't buy it to see how long it will amuse me. I generally try and give a fish the best life possible, which I find enjoyable.

I cannot really tell if this thread is for real or not. This is extremely irresponsible as a fish tank owner to put that many anemone fish in such a small tank. Please, do these fish a huge favor and remove some of them. All 6 of those fish have a 3-4 meter territory in the wild. Eventually 4 of them are going to lose.

Picture yourself at about 1/100th of your current size, trapped in a glass box with no way to escape or call for help, and facing hostile competitors bent on either driving you out of the glass box or outright killing you. Would you find that enjoyable?

This tank owner does not describe aggression at this point. That was my point. I'm sure that if aggression starts to occur and inhabitants begin to fight and do not co-exist in harmony, then some rearranging will need to be done. My point earlier was not to imply that we get fish to amuse us. Sorry that was misinterpreted.
