How to get fish to move

by mro2you2

I added a biocolor blenny and he made a home in the back of the tank. HOw do I get him to move? I would like him on the front for good viewing. hes already made a den and he cant really move any where because the clown will chase him.

Also is is common for clownfish to bite fish/people???

Yes, clownfish will bite if they feel threatned. My clownfish used to nip at me all the time. But now they know im there buddy. They will swim in my hand and eat out of it now. :) Just give them time, they will come around. As for your blenny....hes going to go where he wants, just give him time to acclimate to your tank and his surroundings.

What did he use to make his den? Did you provide something (PVC, etc) that can be moved?

I used to "lock up" a territorial fish that would pick on new fish. Found a strainer (for pasta, etc) in my kitchen that I tied to the edge of the tank. When I added something new, I 'locked up' the trouble fish in there until the new one had a day or say to get used to the tank.
