Well I took my clown fish that was getting beat up by the other clown fish back to the fish shop. Only to return witha royal gamma that is now getting tossed around by my coral beauty. Man this sucks even if this fish sourvives tonight i doubt the LFS is going to take him back after i just had to do this exchange. Is there anyway to get the CB to leave him alone.
 
Unfortunately, from my experience, that is always going to be the norm with fish. The last fish you add to the tank is always going to get chased/beat up for the first 24 hours in the tank. I have seen it every time for years on my tank.. now I am used to it. I wish it didn't happen because the "new guy" always gets his tail nipped by someone in the tank... like you, it isn't always the same fish doing the chasing/beating up.. but it does always seem to happen.
 
My CB chased my half black angel around for a day or two, but it subsided pretty quickly.

I think we've all been through that. When i set up new tanks now I try to make a list of fish i want to stock it with before hand, that way you can introduce the fish from least aggressive/territorial to most and reduce the bullying - its great in theory but difficult in practice, especially when your newer to the hobby and keep seeing new fish that you just have to have in your tank.
 
my yellow tang was chasing my copperband and beating him for couple of months, but now they are best friends and hang out together. not that copperband hangs out with a tang, but it's a tang that is always by his side.
 
The RG was hidding all last night inbetween the glass and the maxijet suction cup bracket. Yes he is that small!!! Anyway It looks better today, He is out in the middle of the tank doing some swimming. Hopefully it all works out. Well thanks for the reasurance everyone. I was thinking the worst from the get go.
