Sending him over!

[yunachin]

Yes, we are dripping young Pondbottom the GSP over to full salt today. His tank mates will be a small occelaris clown and 2 yellow gobies. I think he will be much happier in this tank with many more caverns to explore. I am making my husband buy batteries so I can actually post some pictures later of it!

[Pufferpunk]

I put 2 ocellaris in with my GSPs & one was gone by the next day. Returned the remaining one. I think they are too gentle & slow swimmers. A tomatoe clown worked much better.

[yunachin]

Oh my. I hope that he doesn't eat him, they are close in size though so maybe Pondbottom will leave him alone. If anything goes down we can move the clownfish quickly.

[Pufferpunk]

Like I said--it happened overnight--when puffers do most of their damage.

[yunachin]

Then maybe I shall move the clown before I move him, just to be safe.

You would probably have better luck with a larger more agressive clown like a Maroon.

[Pufferpunk]

Maroons are very mean & aggressive. Within a week of adding one to my GSP tank, all the puffer's tails were stumps. Go for a tomatoe clown instead.

[yunachin]

So far so good. Everyone is fine and getting along. At first I thought the clownfish was done for because my puffer kept following him around. But he left him alone and is now happily swimming about the tank enjoying the space.

[mikeosoft]

Wow, that was a mean @$$ maroon. I've kept them in the past and found them to be just agressive enough to hold their own.

I'm getting a maroon off a friend soon and was going to try her in with my puffers (female). Is there a difference in aggression between male and female maroons?
