How old or big were they when this happened. Was anything changed in the tank just prior to him killing his buddy?
Did the aggression come on slow or just one day he decided to kill the other one. Is there anything you can remember about just before the aggression that might give a clue to why they turn?
But enough about that, what were some of the things you did like about him when he behaved? I have noticed that most really loved their Damsel and just wish they would get along.
I added more light to my tank yesterday, and the Damsels did not like it. The Velvet Damsel went into hiding for a half day. She's been a tad cranky today and I hope this passes.
As much as I wouldn't want one in my tank I don't know if I could do that.A blue damsel is the only fish I've ever flushed that was healthy. I just didn't want to introduce it into my new tank and my LFS wouldn't take it back.
Ive had to euthanise fw fish before, as much as I felt guilty about it it was better than it beating the hell out of all my other fish and killing them off one by one, the only lfs that takes back fish near me deals with cichlids only so I couldnt take the tropicals backAs much as I wouldn't want one in my tank I don't know if I could do that.
Dude, putting a maroon in with a tomato is like putting two betas in the same fish bowl, or a purple and a yellow tang in a 50 gallon tank, or worse, putting Donald Trump and Rosie Odonell in the same room! That was doomed from the start! Tomatoes are pure evil in the clown family anyways, IMO. Maroons are not far behind.as grins says clowns are damsels.....some clowns are really aggressive.....a friend of mine put a maroon in with a tomato clown and the maroon was beat up real bad
I happen to agree with you Damon, except where Tomatoes and Maroons are concerned. I have watched a Tomato torture a royal gramma with my own eyes in my friends 75 gallon. That Tomato is one of the nastiest fish I have ever seen in my entire life, he calls him rocky, and for good reason, no one goes on that side of the tank with him and his nem. That thing is huge and fears nothing.Come on people. Clowns aren't damsels anymore than damsels are clowns. They're both anemonefish, that much is true, but one is not the other.
I've had to euthanize one that was in pain before (not my own) and it was hard. It was the right thing to do, but still hard.Ive had to euthanise fw fish before, as much as I felt guilty about it it was better than it beating the hell out of all my other fish and killing them off one by one, the only lfs that takes back fish near me deals with cichlids only so I couldnt take the tropicals back
