Goldflake Angel

[fishrich]

I have recently purchased a goldflake angel. My only concern is that my tomato clown bother's the goldflake when it swims anywhere near it's anemone. It chases the goldflake away. When/if do I become concerned with the clowns attitude towards the angel? I will take the clown out of the tank if it becomes a problem. But how much is just the clown trying to show its tank "dominance" over a new fish? Thanks for any help!

as long as there is room for all the fish they will find thier own territory.
i wouldnt worry unless the clown chases the angel everywhere.

Yeah; the bigger clowns are very territorial and much tougher than their reputation. Usually, other fish (with any sense) learn where the clown's territory is and things will quiet down. The bigger the tank, the easier this is. I hope your profile is out of date and you don't plan on keeping a goldflake in a 50 gal.

No I don't plan on keeping the goldflake in my 50 forever. I do have a 240 gallon it will go into. But it's only 2 inches long so for now it is fine

I took the clown out and put him in another tank because he was being to aggressive.
