Anybody else got one?
We have a small one and "introduced" a new fish yesterday that was supposed to be passive/community - and he seems to be so far.

The problem is my other fish that were already in the tank are not so friendly and are kicking his ass so far. This new fish ain;t gonna make it through the weekend at this point.
Anybody have suggestions for helping the transition?

Take one of the guilty party out of the tank, throw him on the grill, and then eat him in front of the others.

Problem solved.

I've got 2 yellow tail damsels and a clown fish that are going crazy on an orchid gramma.

The tank has plenty of hiding places and the 2 damsels already had their established "holes" that they guarded, but the new fish doesn't go anywhere near those and they still harass him.

Strange that those types would be too aggressive. Certainly the clown shouldn't. I would give it a day or two more to see if they settle in.

Yeah, the damsels seem more determined but don't really do any damage. They just harass it. I watched the clown literally take a chunk out of the new guy's tail.

I may have to eat him.

I was. Especially when I tried out for the BBall team. What was I thinking?
Decided to write for the paper, instead.

The internet says Golden Eagles. I'm almost positive they were the Trojans back in the day.

I think Spany is getting some real solid advice in this thread. Good luck with your dead fish.

So my choices for saving the new fish from being killed by the old fish are:

1. Grill it
2. Eat it
3. Get more new fish
4. Let camps try to have sex with it
