Hi all,
I bought a strawberry pygmy basslet from my LFS on Friday. I asked a few questions about him first and his tank mates and was told it would all be fine. If anything the basslet may be a little bossy in the tank but nothing major.
However over the last 2 days I have seen my clownfish terrorizes the basslet. The cownfish has nipped his fins and everytime the basslet tries to come out the clownfish chases him back into hiding around the live rock.
I tried taking the clownfish out of the tank, bagging him up for a few hours out of the tank and re-introduced him after 2-3 hours hoping that would solve it but this has not worked. The clownfish has been in the tank for a year now.
Any ideas?
