My 7 inch Green Bird Wrasse, who likes to cruise around, loses a loses a scale or two regularly, when he doesn't get out of the way fast enough.

Fortunately, most of my other fish steer well clear of the Cinnamon Clown. He just has to look at them, and they take off. And of course he attacks me when I put my hand in the tank, as well as the mag glass cleaner. I can't believe he doesn't hurt himself the way he whacks that thing.

He is a nice looking fish, just wish he wasn't so vicious.

Freshwater!!! Not really fair to say on a reef forum is it?

I'll go with another killer - my cleaner wrasse killed my hawaiian cleaner wrasse that i was trying to get for nearly two years within days. He also took himself out in the quarrellings so I had to get a pair of much preferred neon gobies.
