lol wow

my Saddle back clown is the clown from HELL

he literally killed my chromis!! i woke up the chromis's fin had been torn to shreds??
and he was swimming upside down!!! and the SBC was picking on the peppermint shrimp!!!

i took him out after 15 min of trying to capture him!!
i called my LFS told him what had happened and they said bring him back and i could exchange him!!

luckily im cool with the store owner!! because they had a no return or fish guarantee policy!!
so he let me trade him in for a false percula clown and a yellow clown goby

R.I.P. tazer the chromis

ill post pics soon.
i also did some aquascaping

That sucks to hear. I am not suprised though that they fought. They are both damsels if I am not mistaken
I wouldn't add anymore fish, 2 is plenty in a 10 gallon just concentrate on corals now.

My bad, I did forget. Hector's gobies are really neat. I got a bicolor blenny yesterday and by today he is my favorite fish. Lots of personality and very fun to watch. Plus mine eats algae all day long.

I knew the SBC was gonna do that, they need a big tank man.. they are in the same league as maroon clowns.
Stick with percs and occellaris for small tanks, they're wussier. I'm surprised the chromis didn't fight back, they're usually aggressive in a smaller tank.
i'd do a pair of occellaris in there and then a hectors goby and maybe 2 neon gobies... call it a day. clowns first, neons a month later, and hectors goby 2 months after clowns. In the mean time you can do corals and stuff. A citron goby probably wouldn't hurt either, but watch nitrates after adding the clowns to gauge your bioload. hectors and neons won't do anything to it.
