I have in my tank (20 gallons):
1 clownfish
1 Damsel
1 yellow wrasse
1 starfish
1 cleaner goby
1 camel shrimp
The damsel,starfish,goby and shrimp have been in there for a while and the wrasse I just added yesterday.... a few days ago i put in the clown fish (which is about twice the size of the damsel) it seemed to be doing okay.. a tiny bit scared, stayed in the corner for a while. I then started to notice that it would pick at the damsel then the wrasse. I thought it would be ok, might just be picking out it's territory. But now I notice that the damsel is missing a few fins on top and the wrasse is too (but not as much).
I separated the clownfish for right now.
But what should I do? Is this common? Should I just let them sort it out, or get rid of the clownfish? The clownfish is a lot bigger than the damsel, should I try a baby clownfish? I should also note that the clownfish I got was from a customer trade in at my LFS.
