In my experience with Porky's and Boxfish I don't think Porky's release a cloud of death like Boxfish do. If they did it'd be too late anyways. :(

My suspicion is that if "he" is 4 to 5 inches you don't really have a he. Especially if they are both the same size.

Something else to consider is that large clarkii clowns and tomatoes are known...

Do you fill the bucket and circulate it then add salt mix? Are you using RO water?
