Why the hell do people buy clown fish!??? Big problems with mine.

[pseudonym]

Hey all.. well, I am having a problem I never expected to encounter. I have two orange skunk clownfish. They are supposed to be the most passive and community of the clown fish. Problem is, I think they have already killed one of my Atlantic Blue Tangs and the other is looking to be in bad shape. Scars, fins in tatters, the whole bit.

I am honestly wanting to take these little ****ers out and stomp on them I am so mad. NEVER will I buy a clown fish again. Horrible, awful creatures. Sorry to those of you who love them, but after they killed my favourite fish, I will only like the things if they are on a plate in front of me for dinner.

Any suggestions for getting them out without breaking down the entire tank? Also, if anyone wants them, take them. I don't even want to put them in the fuge I am so ****ed off.

At this point.. I think that would be too quick. JK, I do want them to have a nice home. They are my little guys and I do love them (just don't love what they do). However, in the end I would rather they be food than flushed or "disposed of".

29 breeder right now. The tangs are very small juveniles waiting to grow a bit to be transferred to the 90.

Well.. it appears the one Atlantic Blue isn't the only victim. They also killed Oliver, my favourite Spotted Mandarin.

I can't express how much I hate clownfish right now.

its your own fault.

a 29 gallon tank is barely big enough just for the clowns. putting a tang (regardless of how big it is) in a tank that size is cruel.

you shouldnt be blaming the clowns, you should be blaming yourself
