Probably; but with CTs --there just aren't many clear yes and no answers. At any time, even after years, even the most civilized may (or may not) go postal and attack anything. A giant gray area.

lets just put it this way...my 5.5" clown stands up to my 9" blueface with no issues. When he is bigger there will be a severe issue with dominance in the tank.
It is a crapshoot.

what will the clown fish do to the tank bite his bidy and with ine bite kill him ? for no reason ? how do they kill '>?

 

[ccampbell57]

The angels grunt at him loud and show their signs of dominance and the clown litterally turns towards them and bites at them.
They will bite the fish multiple times and get them where they are vulnerable...in the eyes and gills.
When triggers kill they shred their prey. If my blueline was not a trigger I would promise you that it would have been dead from the beating the niger put on it.

i'm curious to see what happends between the GHT and the CT they are both aroun 5.5 inches and they might wanna show the rest of the tank who is boss....

i noticed the ght triggere make an attack on the CT yesterday...the CTused to have a fat stomach like blown upafter it would eat it would be real nice and fat on the bottom of its body...now hes just lying timid behind or under a cave and he is skinny on the bottom looks like extra skin is there but tha rest of him looks ok and hes eating ...is it alarming to see him not fat and just hiding in caves..he also was the last edition and the other have been in a for a months the ght maybe 5-6 weeks. thanks.
