Maroon Clownfish Shifting Sand?

[e.muehlbauer]

Mine goes through bouts where it attacks the heater.....other times it attacks my hand when I clean the tank. Fortunately it just postures when it comes to attacking other fish..then again, its the largest fish in the tank....was barely an inch when I got it 2-3 years ago........

Bori, it's not that hard to catch them. I catch all the fish by simply being patient. I take a large net, I feed them out of the net for a few days. You have to make sure the food stays in the net for this to work. I place the net in a way that the flow of the water keeps the food in it. This forces the fish to go into the net in order to eat. When the fish I want goes into the net I pull the net straight up. The clowns take the longest, I think they are very suspicious by nature.lol

Thanks for the tip Awibrandy. It's like we have a love/hate relationship. I want to get rid of it but can't bring myself to do it. I'll give the food in a net a try.

Amazing how everyone loves the Maroon Clown even with its tempermental behavior. They are beautiful fish who i guess just loves to play in its own home. It just takes time to adjust. Right now, she is just chilling in the tank with the other fish. Occasionally catch her swimming with them. Still fanning but i'll get use to it. Also, Thanks for all the tips.

My GS maroon was a gift from dare I say it, my friend Michael @ NYAquatics when I first got back from being very sick.
I will Never part with her regardless of what she does, the only way she goes is if she (God forbid) she dies. I would keep her even if it ment she had to have a tank all to her self. Guess I'm just to sentimental.:bagfish:

Awi, I agree. I guess having it so long, its hard to part with. Figure parting with any fish would be difficult.
