    Default ClownFish how I hate them!

    My wife has a Black Oynx Clown in her tank with an anemone. The stupid clown with never let the anemone eat. It will have a fish or squid almost completely eaten and hidden in it mouth and the clown will rip the food out causing stress to the anemone.
    If the anemone dies the tank is going to be coveted to freshwater!!!

    Yes please.

    I think I am going to covert this tank to freshwater. My Step-daughter is moving into a house in July and is going to get a 75 so that will get this fish and anemone.

    Actually I was just kidding that the 'killer shrimp' would kill the clown and problem solved. I couldn't promise that they would kill the clown or that they wouldn't have killed whatever else they could catch.

    I already promised them to someone when I get the 180 set up and make the switch.

    Whats up with your tank?

    Nope, My step-daughter should be moving into her house soon and will upgrade their tank, if they do not want it I will sell the clown and anemone off to someone else.
