MasonHoff Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 sorry if this ruins your day! caution! a story i just read on another forum! this is the crazyist story ive heard in a while! it played out like a movie in my head! jroescher Location Lockhart TX Posts 1,843 Clownfish Murder I just watched my large tomato clown chase down and kill my perc clown. They have lived together in different ends of the tank for years. The tomato clown lives in the big anemone and the little clown in whatever she could find on the other side of the tank, and they rarely crossed sides. Just after feeding some flake food in the tank the tomato went on a search and destroy mission. She went to the other side of the tank and grabbed the little clown and took her to the anemone and stuffed her in it's mouth. The anemone was waiting with it's mouth wide open. I was able to grab the tomato clown, no net needed, she was so focused. But she got away and continued her mission. I didn't think a bubble tip would eat a clown, nor did I think they could order one for dinner. It wasted no time in closing up once the fish was in it.

RobR Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Man that sucks, I have heard if clowns grabbing fish and feeding them to nems, but not another clown .... Clowns can be pretty mean and territorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Red clowns are generally mean. The darker the red, the meaner they seem to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmthree Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have a clownfish that is not even an inch long. He is the meanest SOB that I have in my tank. I think as soon as the FOWLR tank is set up I will put him in there to see how mean we will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
