damsel and tomato

[arod268]

my damsel has been fighting with my tomato alot he doesnt let him swim around he always backs him into a corner and the tomato stays there anything i can do to make him less aggresive

if you have rocks, try rearranging the rocks in your tank. that should break up any territory claims the damsel may have. also keep in mind, most damsels are aggressive in nature so this might keep happening

No; hypo is hyposalinity. The SG is lowered to a point that fish can tolerate and parasites cannot.
Regarding the damsel; aggressive damsels are probably the most common problem on this forum. If you can live without him, you'll save yourself a ton of headaches. If not, this little demon will dictate everything you decide to put in your tank.
