Fish Fight!

[chichimom79]

I just witnessed a knock down dragout between my Midas Blenny and my female Maroon Clown. They were literally rolling around each other. I have never seen such a thing. I was screaming at the tank like they could hear me.... When they were done, the Midas then went chasing the male clown. I fed the tank some pellets quickly to distract them. These fish have seemed fine together for months. Not sure what to do except keep my eye on things. I may try rearranging the rock if it continues. :frustrat:

Were you watching Rocky tonight? That always gets me feisty!

Wow! The female is always territorial, but never thought it would go like that. Ususally they do a charge and everyother fish backs down. The only one that gets close to my clowns "nest" would be the mandarin. Noone hates the mandarin! My six line and my female get into it alot, but the six line just runs away.

This is when I bang on the glass.

Only acceptable time.

This is when I put the "Claw of the Gods" into play.
I use the aquarium grabber to break up fights and remind them there is a bigger "fish" that they should be worried about.
