    Ok so a few weeks ago i got two Ocellaris clownfish. a few hours ago i got a flame angel everything seemed fine at first except the flame angel claimed the main rock structure in the tank. Now one clown fish is relentlessly chasing the other clown fish around. i am going to have to remove one of the fish which should i remove. The flame angel the dominant or the bullied clown fish?

    The clowns are just probably deciding on who is the female and male. It is just a coincidence that the flame angel started this IMO. My clowns battled it out for a while to point I wasn't sure if one was going to make it but now all is well in the neighborhood. I would give it more time.
