I have some maroon clown fry that after day ten have become very aggressive with each other. I have observed them attacking smaller siblings almost like tiny little sharks. I was finding little bodies on the bottom on a regular basis for about three days. I started out with about fifty babies making it through metamorphisis. I have collected the remaining 24 babies and put them in a breeding net in their ten gallon tank by carefully catching the fry with the cut off bottom half of a small clear plastic bottle. I understand that crowding can help disperse aggression and so far it seems to be working. There have been no more losses so I am attributing the deaths to sibling aggression. Any thoughts on the subject would be welcome..
