Other Details |
Other Information: |
These are extremely aggressive fish and I am having a difficult time housing them together. On 6/8/12 I moved the 5 largest maroons to five separate tanks (with other grow-out clowns) to see if I can prevent the destruction of the smaller maroons. Hopefully the 5 largest maroons won't go on a killing spree in my B&W grow- out tanks. |
