Need A New Fish

[nudy6969]

is there a fish i can get for my 12g aquapod that my clownfish wont kill. it alredy killed a cardinal so im scared to put new fish in there.

i was thinking of a warse , dragonnet or a damsel

[daugherty]

a sixline wrase

A dragonet would likely starve in a tank that small and since they are such timid fish, would probably get bullied by the clown.

A damsel would be able to hold its own against the clown, and might even turn the tables on it. Maybe a yellow tail damsel or yellow bellied damsel?

Wrasses usually get along with everyone, although some can be aggressive. I think a wrasse would be a good choice too.

A basslet/gramma or psuedochromis/dottyback are colorful and might be okay also.

Normally, a firefish or two would be good, but like dragonets, they are pretty easily bullied.

I have a six line and a royal gramma with my clown. They both hold there own.

What kind of clownfish?

IMO,a psuedochromis are somewhat aggressive and could possibly hold there own against a clown in a small system.A fridmani or neon dottyback(psuedochromis) may work but my concern is there just isn't much room for territory in a small tank,and most fish,if not all are territorial in some way.

firefish are the little biotches of the ocean, they will let him bully them all day.

Id go with a magenta dottyback, as Biff said.

Depending on how long its been in there try and pair it with another clown!

In a 12 gallon tank you are fully stocked with a single clown, thats why he is acting aggressively toward other fish.

What year and model is your Porsche? When my grandpa got his 2004 911 Turbo I became a Porsche addict for life, unfortunately he sold it because he could no longer get comfortably in and out of the car (his back). But I am counting the days until I can afford one of my own, but as I am still in college I may be saving my pennies for quite some time.

Not necessarily, some clowns will act aggressively no matter what size tank they're in. They are just aggressive fish by nature. If you pick carefully, you could put a second fish in a tank that size. Although you are right that everyone might be happier if left with just the clown.

[dustin_P74]

you could try a black and gold chromis, those are nice and can hold there own against a clown since they are part of the damsel family, and they are nice and small

[McCrary]

Lol, holding their own against a clown is neither good for the clown or good for the other fish. Clowns are not aggressive by nature, the maroon clown is aggressive by nature, but that is the only one I can think of. Clowns can be aggressive when they are confronted by their own in a limited environment, but it is unusual for a single clown to be hostile in any way. The hostility that the clown is showing tells me that he can't possibly have another fish in his small area.
