    I have a Oscellaris clown who was a male and over the last month or two changes to female and now chases sometimes my Solarensis Fairy Wrasse. Should I remove the clown? What would most poeple do. I can wait too long or else the Wrasse will hide in the back and never come out and die. There is no damage at all on the Wrasse. He is getting chased sometimes

    hi there, personally i would remove the clown although you dont say the size of your tank or what other fish you have in there? there isn"t any over crowding going on perhaps??
    i only suggest removing asap, as i have just lost my jaw fish which was getting bullied/beaten by my cleaner wrasse. had i of removed the wrasse sooner it would still be here. (im sure some don"t believe me on this but i do have a video of it happening)... its your choice, my suggestion!!!thanks:-/

    I have a 46 bow. 1 Mandarin, Bi Color Blenny, Oscellaris Clown and a Fairy Wrasse. Someone from ORA said that my fish might be spawning even though there is no male and the Clown might see the Wrasse as a threat
