should i be worried

[duke62]

i know i should be cautious as it is but my new buterfly fish is being harrassed by my yellow tang,cardinal fish and clown fish so now its hiding behind the rocks and wont come out.i feed him some mysis with a baster behind the rocks and it ate some and aso saw him grabbing something off the rocks and eating whatever it snatched but should i be concerned its being bullied to hard by the other fish.i put a mirror on the side of the tank and the tang is busy trying to get its reflection but the cardinal is stillmessing with him every time it decides to make its appearence in the open

CBB? Mine is doing fine with my sail fin and blue tang. If it keeps up I would be concerned and either sell him or move it to another tank if possible.

eating is a good sign....how many days as this been going on? the tang is the most territorial so that may last a couple days and may have to be removed for awhile if it continues longer to prevent stress and injury....the clown is next and should just defend it's little area and not care about the rest of the tank ...the cardinal will stop soon too. I'm assuming it's a Bangaii.

Jim, I am going to be the bearer of bad news, I hope I am wrong but unless they leave him alone he won't make it

tang has stopped and it seems like they are best buds.they swim together..yes the bagaii cardinal chases it every time it catches his eye and the clown has also stopped.the butterfly has come out alot more in the past 24 hours and is eating very well.im guessing the cardinal will stop soon because it did the same things when i introduced the yellow tang.i think i got a strong butterfly this time
