Clown Fish too territorial

[leezardking]

Hi,
I have a 29 gallon tank with a clownfish, a damsel, a firefish and a goby. I had 2 bigger damsels that i got rid of and introduced the clown, firefish and goby into the tank. Now the clown acts like it own the whole tank and doesnot let anyone else out from the corner. It is specifically very hostile towards the damsel, which stays on the top corner of the tank all the time. The firefish and goby move around a little but are still hanging out in the same corner of the tank. The clown is not too hostile to them, atleast i dont see it, but they dont swim around the tank too much except during feeding time. In the pics you can see the left corner is where everyone else hangs out (most of the time). If the goby or firefish come to the right side of the tank, it seems like the clown kindly escorts them towards the left corner. They have been in the tank for about 3-4 days. The small damsel is on that left corner almost all the time. What should i do to have fish freely move around?

Clown fish are in the damsel family. They are mean and very territorial. The only thing you can do is remove the clown. But once you do the other damsel will take his place as king and keep the others from swimming. The best thing to is to not to have any damsel in a small tank at all. The only way to have damsels in small tank is to have more aggressive fish then they are like dwarf angles and wrasses (like a six line).

Is your Clownfish is a Clark's? I'm not sure from the picture. If so, they will typically claim 6 or 7 square feet of area and protect that area. Your 29 gallon probably has about 4 square feet of area total so the Clownfish is naturally claiming the entire tank.
You could try a Percula instead.
