Will a BTA help out with my GSM

[brad23]

My GSM is starting to get mean lately and I was wondering if a BTA would help with this or should I just remove him?

Bump

normally they make them even meaner for territorialty reasons

Ours was semi-nice until we got him an anemone. Then he was so busy trying to protect his home that he started biting everyone that swam by. We had to get rid of him because he was leaving bite marks on the sides of all the other fish. Ouch!

Ok thanks, I'll be getting rid of him.

I guess I'm fortunate that my only other fish is a yellow tang that's 4x as big as my clown. It's actually kind of funny watching her defend the anemone when the tang gets too close. Probably wouldn't be quite as entertaining if it were a fish she could actually hurt, though.

Well I got a RBTA and the GSM took to it in 20 minutes or so. He seems to not be as bad but he's in it most of time and only defends a area about 12 inches from it.

This is better than him sitting in the middle of the tank all day and attacking anything that he sees.

Although he won't touch my flame at all? It gets a inch from him and he doesn't do anything.

flames have attitudes, if it is properly settled it is more than capable of tearing the GSM a new one.
