Trigger fish bullying

Tactical Reefkeeping · Aug 11, 2024

Hi everyone I have a quick question I have this trigger fish that someone gave me for free with the tank as well as some others fishes including a clownfish. I had my own tiny clwonfish that put in the new tank setup with the others fishes. The. Tank has been setup for about two months now no problems with my two clownfish or the trigger fish. I went I a one week vacation came to find out my tiny clownfish was dead. On the floor I thought maybe because a hurricane just hit us in Florida and there was a lot of thunder maybe he jumped out. Because he has number had any issues till then, But after a week back I started noticing the trigger fish bullying the bigger clownfish and then I am thinking maybe he killed my tiny clownfish.

What should I do with him?

And sorry for the really one text!!

I rehomed my picasso trigger. She was mellow and fine until I went to upgrade the tank. I think the stress of the move got to her and she went nuts. Killed my other two triggers and my yellow tang. I got rid of her after that
