Killer Tomato's

[brianbigoats]

Recently i have lost 3 fish two newly add wrasses lasted 5 days and 3 days. then to day i lost a coral beauty which i have had for a year it would some times fight with the large female clown (3+ in ) could she be a killer. on the coral beauty and one of the wrasses i could see what looked like blood under the skin. the tank is a 60g which was recently upgrated from a 26g. the female also tries to bite me if i put my hand in the tank. i have an option of moving them in to a 10 gallon and moving a pair of Occe. into the 60g two other fish in the 60 are doing great a lawnmower blenny and a mandarin so now mantis or pistol shrimp right?

Watch your NH3 and NO2!! That coupled with the nasty clown could have done them in!!!

I can't imagine putting 2 aduly tomatoes in a 10g. They'd foul the water sooooooo fast. Also, they simply wouldn't have enough room.


PS. looks like this year may be the end of the curse of plenty we've had since 00. You go to Davis Brian? Class of '94 here.

In case the summers in Davis weren't miserable enough!

I'll stop hijacking the thread now, I promise.

I would not suggest moving them into a 10 gallon, thats too small for them.. Try moving some rocks and stuff around in your tank, that will keep them from becoming tetorial (sp) once clowns have there space they dont allow anyothers in it.. Let us know how you make out with this..
